Sebelius and Congestoga Wood Specialities v. Sebelius — related to the Affordable Care Act benefit that requires most employers to include contraception coverage in their health care plans. “Decisions about contraception belong to a woman with the advice of her doctor, not her employer,” Frankel said. “There is nothing more essential to a woman’s health than to be in charge of her own body and be in control of her most important life-changing decisions.”   Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies are required to provide preventative care, including contraception, with no out-of-pocket costs to individuals. Churches and religious schools are exempt from providing contraception coverage to employees and there is also an accommodation for non-profit religious organizations. The stakes in this case are clear — should for-profit corporations or a woman and her doctor determine her access to preventative care and contraception?   ### 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
