11. The ACA didn't single out women.

The religious objectors in Hobby Lobby were granted special privileges they wouldn't have gotten in 1990, but I guess Scalia's reasoning used this Religious Freedom Restoration Act from 1993.

I still think the individual's rights should supersede the rights of the employer. If the religious objector employers don't want to use contraception, no one is forcing them to do so. Also, no one is forcing them to buy insurance, for themselves, that covers contraception.

I'm still waiting to see how the insurance companies comply with what the Hobby Lobby folks want, and yet comply with the ACA at the same time.
