[[Pro-choice]] and civil-liberties groups criticized the ruling. [[Cecile Richards]], president of the [[Planned Parenthood Action Fund]], said, "Today, the Supreme Court ruled against American women and families, giving bosses the right to discriminate against women and deny their employees access to birth control coverage.
