Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania
Excerpts from the opinions:
"The individual respondents in Hobby Lobby opposed four methods of contraception covered by the mandate. They sincerely believed that human life begins at conception and that, because the challenged methods of contraception risked causing the death of a human embryo, providing those methods of contraception to employees would make the employers complicit in abortion."
"At the same time, we made it abundantly clear that, under RFRA, the Departments must accept the sincerely held complicity-based objections of religious entities. That is, they could not "tell the plaintiffs that their beliefs are flawed" because, in the Departments' view, "the connection between what the objecting parties must do...and the end that they find to be morally wrong...is simply too attenuated." "
"We noted that different individuals have different beliefs on this question, but we were clear that "federal courts have no business addressing...whether the religious belief asserted in a RFRA case is reasonable." "
