Two Catholic groups have won last-minute exemptions from the part of the new healthcare law requiring contraception coverage for employees. The Obama administration already agreed to grant exemptions for religious organizations last year, but plaintiffs in the case say the certification process for them to opt out marks a violation of their religious freedom. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor granted the temporary injunction on Tuesday night, hours before the mandate took effect. The Supreme Court is set to hear a challenge to the contraception mandate by for-profit corporations later this year.
