Little Sisters Go to Court: Arguments Heard in Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged v. Burwell

Religious Liberties Practice Group Courthouse Steps Teleforum

Join us as our expert will give our listeners background information on the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged v. Burwell case and report on what transpires during oral argument. In the much-discussed case, the Court will decide an important challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). At issue is the ACA’s contraceptive mandate, and whether it imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise or a violation of RFRA. Has the Department of Health and Human Services satisfied RFRA’s test for overriding a sincerely-held religious objection?

• Roger Severino, Director, DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, The Heritage Foundation
