Congressman Brett Guthrie today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. case:

"I applaud the Supreme Court for upholding the principle of religious freedom and striking down the HHS mandate. No employer should be forced to comply with a federal mandate to provide drugs or procedures that violate their religious beliefs. Obamacare sought to infringe on these freedoms and I am pleased that today's decision restored employers' rights to make decisions in line with their conscience."
