Sorry, but that rule only applies to organization run by recognized religions like schools and hospitals. It explicitly exempted for-profit organizations.

Based on today's ruling, Hobby Lobby could conceivably choose to simply have no insurance at all if they feel that they can't get a plan that doesn't include contraception coverage, which the ACA strictly forbids.

BTW, Hobby Lobby has no problems paying for insurance that covers contraception for men, they only object to women having the choice to have children or not.

And the owners of Hobby Lobby have been investing for years in the very companies which produces most of the contraceptions that they claim to object to. When asked about that situation and how seemed to be hypocritical when seen in the light of their objecting to covering contraceptives for their female employees, their claim was that their investment decisions have nothing to with the running of their stores and that they have the right to invest in whichever companies that they choose.

...it was a "token" victory. Nothing is going to change. If Hobby Lobby don't pay for it, the insurance company has to provide it for free, it will just be billed back to hobby lobby in the insurance bundle. Much ado about nothing.
