Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. (2014) was a U.S. Supreme Court case where Hobby Lobby, a private company owned by religious believers, challenged a government rule requiring them to cover certain contraceptives in their health insurance. Hobby Lobby argued that this law violated their religious freedoms under the First Amendment. The Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, deciding that closely held private companies could claim religious objections to part of the Affordable Care Act, meaning they didn't have to provide certain contraceptives if it violated their religious beliefs.
