Religious Freedom for Institutions, or Individuals? A different angle on the new HHS mandates
Employees of religious organizations have essentially the same rights as anyone else in our society. That includes a right to privacy, as well as a right to the free exercise of their religion. Their religious freedom is not circumscribed by others of even their own sect.
