Supreme Court hearing Hobby Lobby v Obamacare

This case is now at the Supreme Court. Hobby Lobby is a business owned by a Christian family. The family objects to the parts of Obamacare that require them to provide free contraception, especially certain kinds of contraception that can work after conception - a violation of the family's religious beliefs.

Hobby Lobby isn't forbidding their employees from purchasing contraception or abortion on their own dime - the family doesn't want to be forced by law to provide that which violates their religious beliefs.

To the liberals here, what is your argument? The Constitution explicitly says that family has the right to practice their religion. Nowhere does the Constitution say that anyone has the right to free contraception. Case closed, right?

What's the debate? I get that liberal ideology supports free contraception everywhere, but how does the Constitution not end the debate?
