Supreme Court halts contraception mandate for religious groups

[humbled_opinion]

47. What is the real issue?

It seems that any church has the first ammendment right to fully discriminate against it's employees regardless of race, gender, etc... Hosana Tabor -V- Equal employment opportunity case was decided 9 zip in favor of allowing the church to have the first ammendment right to discriminate. Why would anyone believe that the same court would rule differently in regard to forcing the church to provide health coverage that offers contraception to their employees, which is a direct violation of the church's beliefs.

Now for my own education is a woman's contraception needs really that expensive that this small group affected by this provision cannot find another way to afford quality contraception? Can't the state just offer any women working for church groups free contraception or why doesn't Planned Parenthood just stand up and go on the record and tell any woman affected by this decision that they will offer free contraception, or Is this really about more than contraception?
