[Excerpt]
WASHINGTON — Only hours before the law was to take effect, a Supreme Court justice on Tuesday blocked implementation of part of President Barack Obama's health care law that would have forced some religion-affiliated organizations to provide health insurance for employees that includes birth control.

She came down very conservative on one other court decision. Can't remember which one it was now.
Maybe she is a serious practicing Catholic, but supposedly Pelosi is too.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a temporary injunction against enforcement of Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate in the waning hours of 2013, a provision of the law that is the subject of a number of federal court cases.
“Upon consideration of the application of counsel for the applicants, it is ordered that respondents are temporarily enjoined from enforcing against applicants the contraceptive coverage requirements imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 42 U. S. C. § 300gg-13(a)(4), and related regulations pending the receipt of a response and further order of the undersigned or of the Court,†wrote Sotomayor in the order on New Year’s Eve. “The response to the application is due Friday, January 3, 2014, by 10 a.m.â€
The case — Little Sisters of the Poor v. Sebelius — deals with a religious charity organization run by nuns who have committed themselves to serving the poor and needy. Among the vows nuns take is a vow of chastity.
Had Sotomayor not issued the injunction, Little Sisters of the Poor would have been subject to the penalties for not offering health plans that cover contraceptives, including the morning after pill, Plan B and Ella, which many consider to be tantamount to abortion. ... link (http://www.unitedliberty.org/articles/16061-supreme-court-issues-temporary-injunction-against-contraceptive-mandate?)

Administration to high court: Don't exempt Catholic groups from contraception mandate
The Obama administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court not to exempt Catholic groups from an ObamaCare requirement to offer contraceptive coverage, after the high court gave them a temporary reprieve earlier this week.
The group of Catholic nuns argues that the contraceptive coverage requirement violates their religious beliefs.
But the Justice Department reiterated its argument that the group has no foundation for their case. The administration says religious nonprofit groups such of this one can certify that they don't want to provide contraceptive coverage. In that case, it would be up to a third-party administrator to decide whether to provide it.
"Applicants have no legal basis to challenge the self certification requirement or to complain that it involves them in the process of providing contraceptive coverage," the administration claimed.

Your rights are now subject to the whims of "a third-party administrator".
