June 30, 2014: Supreme Court upholds religious challenge to Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
A divided Supreme Court ruled that closely held corporations can decide for religious reasons not to include contraception coverage in health insurance plans offered to employees.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg aka
Notorious RBG tried to warn them.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the ruling "invites for-profit entities to seek religion-based exemptions from regulations they deem offensive to their faith." She said, for example, that a company could decide that covering vaccinations or paying the minimum wage violates their religious belief. And she noted past religious freedom challenges brought by a restaurant chain that didn't want to serve African-Americans and by a photography studio that didn't want to take pictures at a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony.

So at the same time that the US Supreme Court is legalizing gay marriage all over the country, has it also opened the door for "legalized discrimination based on religion"?
Could be a lengthy process
