HHS Contraception Mandate | National Catholic Reporter

HHS Contraception Mandate | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: One wonders what will happen when the case is heard.  I suspect that the key factor in the case is the fact that contraception has been a mandatory part of insurancue coverage since December 2000.  The new plan simply eliminates copayments for these services.  What this case seems to be about is finding a way to put Roe back before the Court - although that is a fool's errand because th last time it was argued to do so (the Partial Birth Abortion Case), three of the Republicans voted to use the Commerce Clause, rather  than repealing Roe, to uphold the ban.  There are only 2 anti-Roe Justices and they are old for their gender (and likely to die soon and end all talk of repealing Roe).  As far as putting in legal distinctions within various Church elements, there is nothing unreasonable about that.  Lines have to be drawn somewhere.  The question is whether the current lines are reasonable.  I suspect they are - but the question is how well the briefs and arguments are.
