By Kyle Jones - email

WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has denied a request to block part of the federal health care law that requires employee health-care plans to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and similar emergency contraception pills.

Sotomayor wrote that Hobby Lobby Stores and a sister company, Mardel, failed to satisfy the demanding legal standard for blocking the requirement on an emergency basis.
