Religious Freedom vs. Contraception Coverage

The Affordable Care Act requires that employers provide health care to employees - including contraception at no cost. This is a problem for a number of business owners for religious reasons and they are taking their fight to the U.S. Supreme Court. Today, Justices hear oral arguments from two such businesses – Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties. We talk with ACLU of Illinois Executive Director Colleen Connell and Peter Breen, Vice President and Senior Counsel of the Thomas More Society, about the arguments and future implications.
