The ACA mandated that all new insurance plans cover "contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counselling for all women with reproductive capacity." A religious exemption exists for non-profit organizations with a religious objection to providing contraception. In order to opt out, the organization must notify the government and explain the objection. The petitioners, representing such religious non-profits, argue that this requirement is an infringement of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which bars the government from "substantially burdening" a person's "exercise of religion."
