From the linked article about the two cases: Both are for-profit companies. Hobby Lobby is a Oklahoma-based arts and crafts retail chain with and Christian owners so devout that the stores close on Sundays. Conestoga Wood is a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of wood doors and other furniture. Both sued to block the mandate to cover contraceptives like Plan B and Ella, saying it violates their religious liberty. "Covering these drugs and devices would violate their most deeply held religious belief that life begins at conception, when an egg is fertilized," said the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which represents Hobby Lobby. The religious argument is obviously ridiculous, but I'm not entirely sure contraception should be a part of mandatory covered health care. Thoughts...? I'm unsure.The first case the court will take up is Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. The second is Sebelius v. Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. The Supreme Court consolidated the cases and allotted a total of one hour for oral arguments on Tuesday morning. (Update: The Court has extended it to 90 minutes.)
