The U.S. Supreme Court's decision on whether for-profit businesses with religious objections can refuse to pay for birth control as part of their employee health benefits package has ignited national debate.Monday, the high court ruled 5-4 in favor of the home goods corporation Hobby Lobby in a decision that for-profit employers with religious objections can opt out of providing contraception coverage under Obamacare.
The decision is seen as giving opponents of President Obama's signature legislation a significant political victory against the health care law.
Advocates for religious liberty are cheering the decision, while others are calling it a major setback for women’s reproductive freedom.
Local attorney Janet Johnson and Tony Kolenc, professor at Florida Coastal School of Law, joined Melissa Ross for more on the decision.
