Q::There were dozens of these similar court challenges in the lower Courts but the SCOTUS decided to hear these two. Why do you think they chose these ones?
I think they chose these because they wanted a split. That is they wanted to take one case where the employers had won (HL) and one where the employers had lost; they also did not want to take only cases involving Catholic employers. I think they also wanted to take the Conestoga Furniture Company case because it does involve Mennonites who to my knowledge (and I have done some work on this), the Mennonite church doesn't actually seem to take a (doctrinal) position that is against the use of contraception. But this individual Mennonite, runs this individual company, has decided on his own that he doesn't want people to use contraceptives.
