4. If you were the lawyer/s of the Little Sisters of the Poor, what will be your main argument/s once the US Supreme hears their case? (3 pts. for correctly identifying the argument/s that apply in the case based on Objective Morality, the different kinds of law, just law, conscience and freedom) There are many, many similar cases that have been litigated around the country that didn't make it to the Supreme Court in time to be included with this batch of cases, such as that of Wheaton College. The Court's eventual decision will affect the fate of those cases, and potentially the fate of a number of religious non-profits, such as Notre Dame, that lost their legal battles in lower courts and have reluctantly conceded to providing coverage. A victory for Little Sisters and co. could potentially open the path for further legal challenges from for-profit employers with religious objections to contraception; right now, these companies get an accommodation that works very similarly to the accommodation for religious non-profits. A victory for the religious non-profits would also be another blow to the Obama administration, which has pushed back hard on these various exemptions. As the lawyer for Little Sisters puts it, "They've been on a bit of a losing streak on this issue."
