The type of contraception wasn't really the issue. The issue, as stated, was whether forcing Hobby Lobby to provide it substantially burdened the free exercise of religion. Also: whether RFRA applied.
The answers are yes and yes.
RFRA is kind of a dumb law, but it's the law. And, not that it matters, but it was passed nearly unanimously.
