Lummis Responds to Supreme Court Ruling on Contraceptive Mandate

Statement

In response to today's U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Sebelius vs. Hobby Lobby case U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis issued the following statement:

"The Supreme Court ruling affirms what we knew all along: the Obamacare contraceptive mandate to supply abortifacients and contraceptives to employees violates the constitutional right to freedom of religion. I am pleased that the majority of Justices realized this and ruled in favor of that freedom. In the U.S. House I have already joined Rep. Diane Black to co-sponsor the Health Care Conscience Rights Act, H.R. 940, to ensure that the constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of religion is protected for everyone. This is just one more way Obamacare violates our rights and freedoms and one more reason to repeal it and replace it."
