The Obama administration got a mixed reception at the U.S. Supreme Court in a clash with religious groups that say Obamacare is forcing them to help provide what they regard as immoral insurance coverage for contraceptives.
The justices signaled they will be divided, perhaps evenly, as they heard arguments on the health-care law for the fourth time since 2012. The issue is whether the administration is violating religious rights in its push to make birth control a standard, cost-free part of health insurance.
