(REUTERS/Joshua Roberts) A nun with Little Sisters of the Poor walks after Zubik v. Burwell, an appeal brought by Christian groups demanding full exemption from the requirement to provide insurance covering contraception under the Affordable Care Act, was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington March 23, 2016.

 The Court, according to a Beckett Fund Fund attorney, vacated the lower courts’ decision.
