Supreme Court Strikes Down Obamacare Abortion Pill Rule as Violation of Religious Liberty

From Ken Klukowski of Breitbart's Big Government:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a key regulation in President Barack Obama’s signature health care legislation is illegal as applied to millions of Americans of faith, as well as their businesses or organizations.

In Obamacare’s second round before the nation’s highest court, Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion in the 5-to-4 rebuke of the Obama administration for violating the individual rights of American citizens, holding the so-called HHS Abortion Pill Mandate violates religious liberty protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA).

Obama’s beleaguered Affordable Care Act includes a requirement that all employers offering insurance must make “preventive care” part of their healthcare package. The White House decided that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services would issue a regulation declaring “preventive care” includes numerous forms of birth control, including at least four that cause abortions in pregnant women.
Birth COntrol and Abortion causing drugs are NOT part of Obamacare. The requirement to include this coverage as part of Employer provided healthcare was a regulation by HHS, it's not part of the law.

SCOTUS rebuked the Administration over the 1st Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), which was signed by Bill Clinton.

Boom!
