OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Hobby Lobby Stores is asking
the U.S. Supreme Court to block part of the federal health care law that
requires it to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill
and similar emergency contraception pills.
The arts & crafts company is owned by a
conservative Christian family. They argue the drugs are tantamount to
abortion because they can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in a
woman's womb.
Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby asked the high court for
an injunction Friday, a day after a federal appeals court rejected the
company's request. A U.S. District judge turned down the company last
month.
Hobby Lobby is the largest private employer suing
over the mandate. Not providing the drugs will subject the company to
fines of as much as $1.3 million a day.
