Illinois Clergy Protest SCOTUS Ruling By Giving Out Condoms At Hobby Lobby

CAITLIN MACNEAL JULY 3, 2014, 2:24 PM EDT
A reverend in Illinois organized a demonstration to hand out condoms outside of a local Hobby Lobby store in order to protest the Supreme Court's ruling on contraception, the Daily Herald reported.
Rev. Mark Winters of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Naperville, Ill., said it started out as a joke in a Facebook, but after he got a great response, he decided to organize a protest.
The group of demonstrators stood outside the store to hand out condoms donated by Planned Parenthood.
Winters told the Daily Herald that he wanted the protest to show that not all Christians oppose birth control. He also said he hoped to get people to question whether the Supreme Court's decision was fair to Hobby Lobby employees' religious freedom.

Hobby Lobby is celebrating their victory allowing them to run their employees lives 24 hours a day, as if they were slaves, sort of.
Yeah, we know where all this shit originates.

(6,661 posts)Hobby Lobby's insurance actually supports the use of condoms (both male and female) as well as more than a dozen other birth control products. It is four products, including the so called "morning after" pill that they refuse to support.

(53,235 posts)the decision. If you read DU, you'll know about HL not wanting doctors to discuss birth control and how HL wants to opt out of the federal contractors non-discrimination requirement. And that's just the start. But then, maybe you don't read DU enough. And maybe you should.
Buh-bye. You're on Ignore now.

(6,661 posts)No smoking cessation drugs, fertility treatment, weight loss medication, etc.-- none of wht is called "lifestyle drugs" (which includes Viagra).
Eden and places like it are where the protests ought to be, although I suppose they aren't as big as HL. The SC has certainly set up,a slippery slope. And with the coat savings of not having to cover all treatments, I suspect many of these companies will have a sudden conversion. Better to hold their feet to the fire now.
