Hobby Lobby And The True Gangsta Life Of Justice Alito
By Elie Mystal

Last year at about this time, Justice Samuel Alito authored one of the most sneaky anti-woman decisions in recent memory. In Vance v. Ball State University, Justice Alito made it much more difficult for women to sue their employers for workplace harassment. At the time, I said it’s the kind of decision Chris Brown would be proud of, but on reflection, that may have been unfair to Chris Brown.

Today, Alito once again puts in the heavy lifting to make the world worse for working women. Apparently, in Alito’s world, it’s not only okay for employers to try to have sex with their female employees, they also get to regulate what medications they take…

Yes, I said “medication.” Birth control is a lot of things. Religious wingnuts — like, you know, the Pope — can try to make it about God and His plan for YOUR womb, but birth control is also A MEDICINE that helps women regulate a process that men don’t have to deal with.

It’s just now a medicine that Alito doesn’t think employers should have to cover under the Affordable Care Act if those employers think that God doesn’t want them to....

1. Kerry - Kennedy filibustered Alito. Schumer and Clinton led closed-door undermining of their effort

Hard to forget that.
