Supreme Court divided on ACA contraception challenge


 

AT THE SUPREME COURT

Charmaine Yoest, president and chief executive officer of Americans United for Life, told reporters that Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood should have a right to opt out of paying for emergency contraception, citing "the evidence shows that some of these drugs covered under the HHS mandate do have life-ending properties."

Americans United for Life filed a number of amicus (friend of the court) briefs in these cases on behalf of Physicians for Life, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and other groups.
