Years of litigation over the Obamacare mandate for coverage of early abortion pills, birth control and sterilization, culminated in seven cases under the title Zubik v. Burwell. All that time, religious organizations like Christian colleges and nuns told the courts that the government could achieve its goals another way, without forcing them to violate their faith.

The government already provides birth control to low income women through a dozen statutes including Medicaid and Title X. Obamacare’s insurance exchanges now offer plans covering these same items to people whose employers may have stopped offering health insurance.
