                               ______________________


      At the direction of the Court, the opinion filed on July 12, 2019 is amended as
follows:

Page 44, first full paragraph, second to last line, the last word: omit “the” so it reads “as
provided for in comprehensive guidelines.”; and,
Page 51, first full paragraph, the opinion includes the following sentence and quotation:
“No tradition, and no prior decision under RFRA, allows a religion-based exemption
when the [A]ccommodation would be harmful to others—here, the very persons the
contraceptive coverage requirement was designed to protect.” Hobby 
Lobby, 573 U.S. at 764
(Ginsburg, J., concurring) replace concurring with dissenting so that the citation
reads Hobby 
Lobby, 573 U.S. at 764
(Ginsburg, J., dissenting).

For the Court,
