Faith just won a round in court.
As President Obama’s mandated insurance coverage of sterilization, contraception, and abortion-inducing drugs takes effect on August 1 for ordinary businesses, the Health and Human Services mandate’s ultimate survival suddenly appears blessedly jeopardized.

While the Supreme Court ruling was a disaster, it left open the floodgates for suits like this all over the place. they couldn’t be filed because nobody was effected yet, but as these provisions kick in an increasing number of suits CAN be filed. ObamaCare may survive, but as a shadow of its former self.
