April 22: Chicago - Contraceptive Coverage Cases Before the Supreme Court

On March 25th, the Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases brought by the owners of for-profit corporations seeking exceptions to the Affordable Care Act’s coverage of contraception, based on the owners’ religious objections. The panel will review the arguments made, explore the complex questions these cases raise regarding religious freedom and equality for employees, and whether secular, for-profit corporations are excepted by the Constitution from complying with a law because of their owners’ religious beliefs.
