RNS-HOBBY-LOBBY-SCOTUS

Demonstrators rallied at the Supreme Court on Monday (June 30) after the justices sided with the evangelical owners of Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., ruling 5-4 that the arts-and-crafts chain does not have to offer insurance for types of birth control that conflict with company owners’ religious beliefs. After the decision, those who were disappointed continued to stand outside the Supreme Court. Rebecca Harrington, 32, said she continues to believe in women’s reproductive rights and she said she “won’t let his decision deter us.”
