In the decision, the high court said, "The Court expresses no view on the merits of the cases. In particular, the Court does not decide whether petitioners' religious exercise has been substantially burdened, whether the Government has a compelling interest, or whether the current regulations are the least restrictive means of serving that interest." 
 
In the unanimous decision, the court sent the case back down to the Federal Appeals Courts to be reconsidered.
 
Alliance Defending Freedom's Senior Counsel, David Cortman noted, "Religious organizations have the freedom to peacefully operate according to their beliefs without fear of severe penalties by the government. The Supreme Court was right to protect the Christian colleges and other groups from not having to pay fines or fill out forms authorizing the objectionable coverage.  The government has many other ways to ensure women are able to obtain these drugs without forcing people of faith to participate in acts that violate their deepest convictions. We look forward to addressing the remaining details as we advance these cases in the lower courts." (Photo via The Becket Fund)

The non-ruling of the Supreme Court is being seen as a "significant victory" for religious freedom.
