While appeals are usually decided by a three-judge panel, a total of nine judges will hear the Hobby Lobby appeal.<\/p>\n<p>The Hobby Lobby lawsuit is among a total of 52 current lawsuits challenging the Obamacare mandate. Along with others Hobby Lobby has challenged the Obamacare mandate that forces employees to provide for emergency contraception. Hobby Lobby founder David Green and his family believe that some types of emergency contraceptives, including the morning after pill are forms of abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Duncan, General Counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2013\/03\/29\/hobby-lobby-granted-full-appeals-court-hearing-on-mandate-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">LifeNews<\/a>: \u201cWe are grateful that the court granted Hobby Lobby\u2019s petition.
