WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is ordering a federal appeals court to take another look at the University of Notre Dame’s lawsuit over the health overhaul law’s rules on paying for contraceptives.
Notre Dame is among dozens of religious organizations challenging a compromise in the Affordable Care Act offered by the Obama administration to faith-based groups.
The compromise attempts to create a buffer for faith-based groups opposing birth control while ensuring that women still can obtain contraceptives free of charge.
The appellate court ruled against Notre Dame, but that occurred before the Supreme Court decided the Hobby Lobby case in favor of corporations with similar objections. Now the appellate
panel must revisit its ruling in light of the Hobby Lobby decision.
