Religious Liberty and the Contraceptive Mandate

The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to take on two cases about the Affordable Care Act mandate requiring businesses, even those with religious objections, to provide insurance coverage for employee birth control. Ira C. Lupu, F. Elwood and Eleanor Davis Professor Emeritus of Law, recently moderated a panel at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., about litigation surrounding this contraceptive mandate. Daniel Mach, Director of the ACLU's Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, and Lori Windham, Senior Counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, joined Professor Lupu for this discussion marking the 20th anniversary of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
