Do the United States’ Constitution’s first amendment religious freedom rights apply to for-profit corporations? Please join the ACS Georgia Lawyer Chapter for a panel discussion on the Supreme Court’s consideration of Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Sebelius, and Autocam Corp. v. Sebelius, which address whether corporations may deny coverage to their employees for items such as contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs to which they would otherwise be entitled under the Affordable Care Act based on the religious objections of the corporation's owners under both the First Amendment’s free exercise clause and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Topics to be discussed include religious freedom and discrimination, corporate personhood and federal health policy.
