Victory for Religious Liberty

Statement

Today, Congressman Doug Lamborn released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties, holding that closely held corporations still have a right to religious freedom and to act accordingly to their conscience.

"Today's Supreme Court Ruling was a victory for religious liberty and yet another rebuke for an administration that has shown continuous disregard for our Constitutional protections in its efforts to impose a radical liberal agenda. The Obamacare mandate that was overturned would have forced for-profit businesses into a terrible dilemma, choosing between violating their deeply held religious beliefs or paying crippling fines that would have put the future of their businesses into serious jeopardy."

Freedom of religion is one of the foundational pillars of America's greatness. Every American, including those who create jobs and employ citizens, should be free to live and work according to the principles of their faith."

- Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05)
