Do you think THEY think about citizens independently, or act more as a 'voting block?

[Sidebar Re: Abortion, Alito faction]

four types of birth control they refuse to cover -- two kinds of IUDs and two morning-after pills -- cause abortion.

“Today’s decision is based on the Court accepting as the owners’ sincere religious belief that these drugs and devices can destroy an embryo and end a human life,”

Justice Samuel Alito: “The owners of the businesses have religious objections to abortion, and according to their religious beliefs the four contraceptive methods at issue are abortifacients.

In sum, I don't think we reached some definitive conclusion, while there seems some hypocrisy, somewhere, differences between believers and papacy, some wool over eyes as while there may be a real 'block', six members are Catholic. "forgive them, father, they know not what THEY do"

?: the Court accepting owners’ sincere religious belief
Done.
