The socially conservative Family Research Council celebrated the Supreme Court's decision, being optimistic that the Little Sisters have finally won their yearslong legal battle.

FRC President Tony Perkins said in a statement that it should have been “common sense to allow a religious group to conduct themselves according to their religious convictions.”

“We are glad that the Constitution protects the Little Sisters and others willing to stand up for their beliefs in the face of intense, longstanding opposition,” said Perkins.  

“These brave women have endured nine years of legal persecution for their religious beliefs, and we sincerely hope the Supreme Court's decision today is the end of this unjust saga. Enough is enough.”
