I'm pleased the Supreme Court has decided to hear thisimportant case. The HHS mandate is an enormous government overreach and it violates Americans' constitutional rights. Employers should not be forced to choose between giving up their business for their faith or giving up their faith for their business.” Today’s Supreme Court decision comes after new polling showed 59% of Americans oppose the mandate requiring religious individuals, faith-based institutions, and businesses cover services that violate their deeply-held religious beliefs.
