Ricketts Praises Scotus Decision Upholding Religious Liberty

Pete Ricketts, GOP nominee for governor, released the following statement regarding the United States Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision.

“The ruling is an encouraging victory for Americans’ religious liberties and conscience rights.  Peeling back one of Obamacare’s most egregious overreaches, it upholds a longstanding American principle: the government must not impinge upon citizens’ religious beliefs.  The decision protects family-owned businesses from being forced by the government to violate deeply held beliefs.”
