Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) today released the following statement after learning the Supreme Court’s decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby:

"Freedom of religion is a bedrock principle of our nation guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution," said Latta. "I am extremely pleased that the Supreme Court decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby recognizes that the Obamacare mandate tramples on that right by illegally forcing Americans to choose between violating their faith and conscience or jeopardizing their livelihood. All Americans should be able to live and work according to their beliefs without fear of punishment by the government, and today's decision reaffirms this critical pillar of our nation's foundation."
