    The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in one of the most controversial portions of the Healthcare Law– the mandate that requires employers to cover contraception.

    FOX News Radio’s Jeff Monosso reports from Washington:

    The question– Does a family-owned, for-profit company have the religious freedom to oppose the Federal birth control mandate in President Obama’s healthcare law? That Hobby Lobby and Pennsylvania furniture maker Conestoga told the high court would mean to them:

    Hahn: “We could no longer run our business in a way that affirmed the sanctity of human life.”

    Conestoga Spokesman Anthony Hahn. Though supporters of the law on the steps outside the Supreme Court argued:

    Supporter: “Our bodies are not our bosses’ business.”

    And the Government contends that people have religious freedoms, but that companies do not. A win in the so-called Hobby Lobby case would give companies sweeping rights to opt out of laws they say are immoral.
