Condoms weren't exactly the contraceptives that were the subject of deliberation during this ruling. The decision by SCOTUS essentially allows the owners of Hobby Lobby to play doctor, and that's not even the scariest part of this newly-set precedent. As Esquilax mentioned earlier, imagine if organizations suddenly claimed religious freedom when deciding for others that they won't cover vaccinations or blood transfusions. This is a demonstrably slippery slope, but nothing apparently gets in the way of religious freedom in this country, even when these beliefs have the potential to hurt others.
