The U.S. Supreme Court today asked for additional information on both sides in Zubik v. Burwell, in which religious nonprofits are seeking an exemption from the Obama administration’s contraceptive coverage rule. The order instructs parties in the suit “to examine the minimum the groups must do in order to register their objection to paying for contraception,” the Associated Press reports. The court set an April 20 deadline. A 4-4 split has previously been predicted in the case, which would leave different rules in place in different parts of the country.
