          US High Court Sends Contraception Cases Back to Lower Courts

   by VOA News

   The U.S. Supreme Court avoided a major ruling Monday on a challenge by
   Christian nonprofit employers to a mandate under the Affordable Care
   Act, also known as Obamacare, to provide female workers with health
   insurance covering birth control by sending the cases back to lower
   courts for further review.

   Ruling unanimously, the justices asked the lower courts to re-examine
   the issue. The High Court did not rule on the legal points of whether a
   2013 accommodation determined by the Obama administration to ensure the
   employees receive contraception coverage violates their employer's
   religious rights.

   In prior decisions since 2012 the Supreme Court has fended off several
   conservative challenges to the law.
