[[White House]] spokesman [[Josh Earnest]] said, "Congress needs to take action to solve this problem that's been created and the administration stands ready to work with them to do so. President Obama believes that women should make personal health care decisions for themselves, rather than their bosses deciding for them. Today's decision jeopardizes the health of women that are employed by these companies."<ref name=MaggieFox/>

Senate Majority Leader [[Harry Reid]] (D-Nev.) said, "If the Supreme Court will not protect women's access to health care, then Democrats will. We will continue to fight to preserve women's access to contraceptive coverage and keep bosses out of the examination room."<ref name=HaberkornGerstein/>

Senate Minority Leader [[Mitch McConnell]] said, "[T]he Obama administration cannot trample on the religious freedoms that Americans hold dear."<ref name=HaberkornGerstein>{{cite news|last1=Haberkorn|first1=Jennifer|last2=Gerstein|first2=Josh|title=Supreme Court sides with Hobby Lobby on contraception mandate|url=http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/supreme-court-hobby-lobby-decision-contraception-mandate-108429.html|access-date=Jun 30, 2014|work=Politico|date=Jun 30, 2014|archive-date=July 1, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140701061139/http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/supreme-court-hobby-lobby-decision-contraception-mandate-108429.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Speaker of the House [[John Boehner]] (R-Ohio) said, "The mandate overturned today would have required for-profit companies to choose between violating their constitutionally-protected faith or paying crippling fines, which would have forced them to lay off employees or close their doors."<ref name=Carmon>{{cite news|last1=Carmon|first1=Irin|title=Supreme Court rules for Hobby Lobby in contraception case|url=http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/hobby-lobby-supreme-court-wins-narrow-ruling|access-date=Jun 30, 2014|work=msnbc|date=Jun 30, 2014|archive-date=June 30, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140630183238/http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/hobby-lobby-supreme-court-wins-narrow-ruling|url-status=live}}</ref>

House minority leader [[Nancy Pelosi]] (D-CA) said, "Although the Court restricted their ruling to 'closely held' companies, this ruling will immediately affect the lives of millions of women across the country. Over 90 percent of America's businesses are 'closely held', including such large employers as [[Koch Industries]] and [[Bechtel]].<ref name=Carmon/> Women should not be forced to jump through extra hoops to secure the fundamental health care they need. Allowing employers and CEOs to limit the health care available to employees is a gross violation of their workers' religious rights.

Senator [[Ted Cruz]] (R-Tex.) said, "Today's victory in the Hobby Lobby case is terrific news—but now is no time to rest. We cannot rely on the courts alone to defend our religious liberty."<ref name=DeVogue/>

Senator [[Orrin Hatch]] (R-Utah) said, "I applaud the Supreme Court's decision to protect the religious freedom of all Americans, both individually and collectively. The notion that religious freedom belongs only to some, and even then only in private, defies our nation's traditions, our laws, and our Constitution. And as the Supreme Court rightfully said today, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act could not have been clearer in saying religious liberty of all Americans must be equally protected and not unnecessarily burdened."<ref name=DeVogue/>

Rep. [[Michele Bachmann]] (R-Minn) said, "I am extremely encouraged by today's Supreme Court decision to uphold the religious liberty rights of the Green family of Hobby Lobby."<ref name=DeVogue/>
