Hobby Lobby Decision Sparks Nationwide and Local Reaction

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in the Hobby Lobby case, holding that "as applied to closely held corporations, the regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services requiring employers to provide their female employees with no-cost access to contraception violate the Religious Freedom Restoration Act" (from the SCOTUSblog summary, available here).

The 5-4 opinion in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, Inc., authored by Justice Alito, has sparked reaction across the country, and South Dakota is no exception.  A recent article from KELOLand.com, a local news affiliate, offers reactions from local political leaders and South Dakota citizens.  An article from the Argus Leader, a Sioux Falls newspaper, is available here.
