Corporations per se can do nothing; they function only through real human beings. By giving corporations status as "artificial persons", it gives them the ability to stand up in a court of law on behalf of their own interests and customers, to enter legally enforceable contracts, and to be held accountable for their misdeeds.The problem occurs when corporations push the boundaries. Such as when "natural people" who own a chain of stores, transfer to the "artificial person" their convictions and emotions. In practice, justices ruled 5-4, that a company doesn't have to provide or pay for a health insurance policy that includes some form of contraception, though it would be required to do so under the terms of the ACA. Their reasoning was since the company's controlling shareholdersoperate their business along religious lines, and they argue that paying for these forms of contraception would violate their religious beliefs, providing the insurance plans represents a violation of thecorporatecitizen's rights. Depending on how you analyze it, the natural person's rights, combined with those of the artificial person.
