Dobbs and Kennedy: Two more victories in a long line of recent religious freedom decisions from SCOTUS

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : The Supreme Court of the United States has certainly brought much relief to religious rights advocates, faith-based institutions, believers, and others of good will this summer -- but this turn in favor of religious freedom is anything but new.
58% : The Supreme Court docket of 2020 had a bevy of religious rights rulings, most of which came down on the side of religious freedom.
53% : Since at least 2018, the Supreme Court has steadily upheld religious freedoms and protected this aspect of the First Amendment against further government overreach.
52% : This court balance in favor of conservative justices means we may see further fortification of religious liberties in years to come.
47% : The court ruled that Catholic schools have the right not to hire staff members whose lifestyles do not accord with Catholic teaching, that religious schools may not be excluded from state-sponsored tuition aid programs, and that faith-based employers such as the Little Sisters of the Poor could be exempted from aspects of the federal Affordable Care Act that violate their religious convictions.
37% : With Trump's third appointee, Amy Coney Barrett, now on the bench as well, the court ruled unanimously that Catholic social services could exclude same-sex couples from consideration as foster parents.
