June thirtieth, 2014 - the Supreme Court ruled that family owned businesses [such as Hobby Lobby] are now allowed to refuse contraception coverage for employees due to religious violations. This was upheld in a five-to-four ruling due to the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). RFRA states that the government is not allowed to restrict religious practices and beliefs in any capacity. If the owning party of a [family owned] corporation has religious qualms with contraception coverage employees will no longer be aided in that regard.
