“As the summer heats up, so will the theories of where this all ends. Will the scope be limited to really small, closely held companies or mushroom into much larger ones? Will the current objection to only four types of contraception blossom into objection to additional methods? Will the religious objections leap from contraception into other medical procedures such as vaccinations? Into areas completely outside of the ACA, such as same-sex marriage? Stay tuned.”
