The Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether the health care law's revised contraceptive coverage mandate still violates the religious rights of faith-based groups.

At issue is the arrangement the Obama administration worked out to spare faith-based hospitals, colleges and charities from paying for contraceptives for women covered under their health plans, while still ensuring that those women can obtain birth control at no extra cost as the law requires.

The groups complain that the requirement that they declare their religious objection makes them complicit because their insurers or insurance administrators then assume responsibility for providing birth control. The government may impose fines on groups that do not comply.

Arguments on behalf of the Little Sisters of the Poor and other faith-based groups will take place in late March.
