Hobby Lobby Ruling Not End For Contraception Challenges

Luke 21:12 “But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.

While the Supreme Court ruling for Hobby Lobby was a major victory for Christian business owners, other lawsuits against the mandate continue to move forward dealing with other questions related to the mandate.

The Little Sisters of the Poor are continuing in their case against the Obama administration’s demand the Sisters sign an “accommodation” to the mandate that their employees can use to obtain contraceptive coverage.  The Sisters say that accommodation makes them complicit in something that goes against their faith, namely, abortion.

However, the ruling makes the lawyers for the Sisters believe the court will favorably view them.

“The court’s language indicates the accommodation’s days are numbered,” Daniel Blomberg, legal counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, told the Christian Post.

Blomberg says that he feels confident the court will carry the logic through to his case.

“When it comes to complicity, the government doesn’t get to decide, the religious believer gets to decide,” Blomberg said.
