In the case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., the Green family objected to providing insurance coverage for four specific contraceptive methods that they believed were abortifacients, or abortion inducers. These four methods were:1
- Two types of "morning after" pills1
- Two types of intrauterine devices (IUDs)1
The family argued that including these methods in their employees' health insurance plans would facilitate abortion, which they maintained was inconsistent with their Christian faith.1
