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

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.
