WASHINGTON — Hundreds of people gathered outside the Supreme Court in blazing sunshine to await the decision in the landmark case that would decide if private businesses would be forced, under the Affordable Care Act, to provide contraception to their employees.
Pro-life groups and pro-choice groups tried to outdo each other with chants as they waited for the decision, which ultimately favored the pro-life groups. Many pro choice advocates were stunned, gazing at their phones as the news sank in.
