Rep. Messer calls Hobby Lobby ruling a 'victory for religious freedom'

WASHINGTON--Congressman Luke Messer (IN-06) released the following statement after the Supreme Court announced its ruling on the contraception mandate of the President’s health care law:

"Today’s decision is a significant victory for religious freedom.  This ruling means that the Federal government can’t force those who own and operate family-run businesses to choose between following their faith or complying with a law that is inconsistent with their religious beliefs.  I'm glad to see the court calling balls and strikes and protecting every American's individual liberty from executive overreach.”
