High court to weigh limits of religious liberty in O-Care case

thehill.com - President Obama's signature healthcare law is headed back to the Supreme Court in a high-stakes case that could redefine the limits of religious freedom in the United States.

The high court on Tuesday will hear challenges to ObamaCare's contentious "birth control mandate," which requires companies to offer contraceptive services to workers as part of their insurance coverage.

Hobby Lobby and Conestoga do not object to regulations requiring them to cover the majority of the methods, which prevent pregnancy by blocking egg fertilization.
