Religious Freedom vs Reproductive Rights

Today, the Supreme Court handed down a verdict in favor of Hobby Lobby stating that they did not have to provide certain contraceptives to their employees. There have been many various reactions to the verdict. Anything from outrage and accusations of a war on women and their reproductive rights to joy at the courts decision to preserve a business owner's religious liberty.

If people are intellectually honest, I believe that we can all agree on this one thing. We are a country governed by our Constitution. This Constitution grants to all people the RIGHT to freely worship as they see fit and to exercise their religious freedom. This same Constitution does not grant a RIGHT to free contraceptives.

Any person who argues with the above statement is a dishonest political hack seeking only to push their agenda regardless of what our governing document says.
