Supreme Court Remands Notre Dame Contraception Suit

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Lower court justices who voted to deny Notre Dame’s religious rights will have to take a second look at their ruling after the U.S. Supreme Court threw out their decision.

The justices of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals is being ordered to reconsider their decision in favor of the Obama Administration blocking Notre Dame’s request to have an exemption to the President’s signature health care law’s mandate of abortion causing drugs.

The Supreme Court said the 7th Circuit needed to take into account the court’s 2014 ruling in the Hobby Lobby case.

The Notre Dame case is the only appeals court decision that was issued prior to the Hobby Lobby ruling.  In other cases, the judges have upheld the rights of the Christian organizations to not pay for abortion causing drugs.

The school said their rights were protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
