Hobby Lobby Ruling
Clip: Season 17 | 7m 43s
The Supreme Court's decision raises new questions about the extent of religious freedom.
"The court will have to sort of decide where one person’s freedom ends and another person’s begins on something like this. But it does point to this larger question that we have," observes Kevin Eckstrom, editor-in-chief of Religion News Service, "should religious groups or religious people or institutions be treated differently under the law than everybody else."
