And in the following paragraph:

Of course it’s extremely unlikely that all of those companies are about to claim a religious exemption from providing coverage of contraception. Aaron Blake at the Washington Post points to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll that found that 85 percent of large employers offered contraception coverage prior to Obamacare requiring it.

Regardless, this is nitpicking, and the grandparent claim that it blocked contraception converage for all Americans is wrong.

It's nice that these corporations have the noblesse oblige to provide us the healthcare benefits that morally speaking should be ours by constitutional right.

The rights of millions of Americans were affected. Not a tiny portion of the population.

Also the grandparent comment correctly noted that all Americans lost rights in the ruling, which is accurate. Any American could get a job at a closely held company and not be extended contraceptive coverage.
