A 4-4 decision creates a states' rights issue. Democracies are about personal rights. The right wing politics wants this decision to create an impossible paradigm for men and women seeking birth control. This is nonsense.
The plaintiffs can't fill out a piece of paper? Do they file income tax returns, there is a health care fee established there and it would be answering the ACA which states the exact provision they oppose. So, filing incomes taxes is okay, but, not a piece of paper that upholds citizens' rights outside that of religion.
It is all nonsense and a sincere attempt to control the availability of birth control to Americans. Do they oppose Viagra? My guess is not, after all an erection in necessary to inseminate a fertile woman. The entire stuff is nonsense. Since when does a piece of paper dictate pharmaceutical availability? No one worries about that? A piece of paper can dictate pharmaceutical availability? This is a political motive and NOT a moral issue.
File your taxes April 15th is a few weeks off.

The Supreme Court (click here) seems deeply divided over the arrangement devised by the Obama administration to spare faith-based groups from having to pay for birth control for women covered under their health plans.
The court's conservative justices sounded supportive Wednesday of the groups' complaint that the administration's effort violates their religious rights.
The four liberal justices seem likely to vote to uphold the accommodation offered to faith-based colleges, charities and advocacy groups.
A 4-4 tie would uphold four appeals court rulings in favor of the administration. But different rules would apply in parts of the country in which another appeals court has sided with the challengers.
Wednesday was the sixth anniversary of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul; the case in front of the justices was the law's fourth Supreme Court appearance in five years....
