Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania, 591 U.S. ___ (2020), was a United States Supreme Court case involving ongoing conflicts between the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) over the ACA's contraceptive mandate. The ACA exempts non-profit religious organizations from complying with the mandate, which for-profit religious organizations objected to. The case is a result of prior court action from Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., in 2014 and Zubik v. Burwell, in 2016, which left the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to come up with new regulations on the mandate. On election President Donald Trump implemented an Executive Order to the HHS to bypass the traditional regulation process, leading to HHS devising new rules in late 2017 to give for-profits groups the ability to exempt themselves for both religious or moral objections to the mandate.
