Re: Supreme Court backs Hobby Lobby in contraceptive mandate challenge
Are we seeing all of this over a 5 or 10 dollar box of birth control pills? You would think the ruling today banned all birth control in the entire United States forever. It just said a family owned business for religious reasons can opt out of including contraceptives in their health insurance plans. Which by the way they, the family owned business is paying for.
How many people does their ruling effect, perhaps one percent at the most. more like a tenth of one percent if that. So if you do not work for Hobby Lobby and maybe some other religious family owned business, this ruling has no effect on you. If you do work for Hobby Lobby and it is so important that birth control pills be part of the insurance packaged offered, then quit and go to another company that offers what you want. After all this is America and no one is forcing anyone to continue to work for Hobby Lobby if they do not want to.
Dang reading some of these posts you would think the whole contraceptive industry was done away with.
This is of a piece with some on the abortion threads who were claiming people should arm themselves and simply mow down abortion clinic protestors if they get in their way following the Supreme Court's ruling on buffer zones. Remarkable that those bleating about taking away guns from law abiding citizens now want to arm themselves so they can murder protestors they don't like.
A spurned liberal is truly a dangerous animal.
