That is the question the Supreme Court of the United States will be considering after oral argument today in Conestoga Wood Specialties v. Sebelius. According to the Affordable Health Care Act, the local East Earl Mennonite business must provide employees with contraceptives which can cause the death of a fertilized egg.

The Mennonite leaders of Conestoga Wood have always been religiously and morally opposed to abortive contraceptives. But Obamacare and the Philadelphia Appeals Court say that does not matter.

As the law now stands, the Mennonite owners of Conestoga Wood lost their religious liberties as soon as they incorporated Conestoga Wood.

Attorney Emily Bell of Clymer Musser & Conrad serves as amicus counsel for Conestoga Wood and firmly believes that forcing Conestoga Wood to breach its religious beliefs is a violation of the United States Constitution.

Attorney Randall Wenger, a former employee of Clymer Musser & Conrad and a now chief counsel for PA Family Institute, will be arguing on behalf of Conestoga Wood today.

“In order for society to function well,” says Wenger, “you need to give breathing space for peoples’ beliefs.”
