In Supreme Court case, potentially big shift on religious freedom
(The Christian Science Monitor) The Unites States Supreme Court on Wednesday became the theater for a debate over religious freedom that could have far-reaching consequences for America’s religious communities.
Outside the court, the division was stark. At the foot of the marble steps, nuns sang with their young supporters. Next to them, another group of young people waved "Hands Off My Birth Control" signs.
Inside the court, during about two-and-a-half hours of uninterrupted questioning, the justices essentially explored how these two groups might be able to coexist moving forward.
