If women are treated differently because of religious beliefs, then the Supreme Court is stipulating religion supersedes our human rights and long held values that government and any religion are separate.

If a religion subjugates women to some kind of 'breeder' or second-class status, then for the Supreme Court to rule religion can justify inequality of benefits, we are rolling back gains in progressive liberal Democratic values!

We have to have a line!
