Corporations should not be considered individuals when it comes to religious freedom

The courts have been inundated by cases from corporations who refuse to provide insurance for contraception based on the religious beliefs of their owners. The Supreme Court will be hearing the cases soon. As a clergyperson, I’m obviously concerned about people being able to have the freedom to practice their faith. Yet as a woman, I am concerned about the health and dignity of people who need contraception.

What happens when those two things contradict one another?

That’s where we find ourselves. The Obama administration exempted many religious groups from the health care law’s requirements for contraception coverage, but now companies who say that they run their businesses on godly principles are refusing to provide coverage.
