The Supreme Court on Wednesday gave President Trump and religious freedom a double win. . . .

SCOTUS rules that religious employers can opt out of Obamacare birth control mandate and religious organizations are exempt from civil court employment discrimination suits.

In Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, the court ruled 7-2 in favor of an administration regulation that allows religious employers to opt out of providing contraceptives to their employees.

In Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Beru, the justices by the same 7-2 margin prohibited employment discrimination suits against religious organizations where the employee served a religious function. . . .

With today’s ruling in Little Sisters, employers are free to opt out of the contraception mandate if they have a religious or moral objection. This is the third time the high court has ruled on the issue.

In Our Lady of Guadalupe School, the court ruled that civil courts cannot be involved in employment discrimination suits brought against religious organizations where the employee served a religious function. The decision expands upon a ruling from 2012 in which the court held that religious organizations are granted a “ministerial exception” from employment discrimination lawsuits.

Disheartening to hear that Joe Biden has promised to overturn this decision if he is elected. He also no longer supports the Hyde Amendment. When the Democrat Party removed God from their platform, Satan entered. They are no longer the party of JFK. The persecution continues. May God have mercy on us all.

Our Catholic brothers and sisters are of the forefront of the fight for religious freedom and right to life. Continued prayers on everyone’s part ie, all Christians, are needed to fight for His glory!
Heavenly Father, we ask for your grace and mercy, strength and wisdom to continue the work to glorify Your name and make us witnesses of Your grace. We ask this in the Holy name of Your son Jesus, Amen
