The owner's of Hobby Lobby had argued that Obamacare's contraception mandate is unConstitutional as it attacks a business' right to freedom of religion.
Heaton ruled that, "the court has not found, any case concluding that secular, for profit corporations such as Hobby Lobby have a constitutional right to the free exercise of religion."
Hobby Lobby's owners plan to appeal the decision.
The Christian company strongly believes against the use of morning after or week after pills, but accepts the right to use condoms and birth control.
Under Obamacare, they will be forced to provide their employees with all of those.
Hobby Lobby, which is self insured, says that it will face fines of $1.3 million a day, beginning January 1, if they do not obey the law.
The owners say their other choice is to drop coverage all together, as they will not go against their conscience and provide products that they see as immoral.
