6. Hobby Lobby promotes adultery!

Unless youre married and using it for your wife, using Viagra is having lust for others and thus committing adultery in your heart...

"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

Matthew 5:28

They use China as a major vendor and China has a state policy of forced abortion if the couple has one living child. Idiot so-called Christians are really just anti-woman and pro-profit, regardless of the cost, even to their faith and ideas.

that no one is questioning how HL is even able to do this logistically, ethics aside. I guess I'm just surprised that an insurance provider would allow a client to dictate the minute details of a policy.
Everyone acts as if Hobby Lobby is a health insurance company itself, referring to what "they" will or will not cover. HL negotiates a contract with, say, United Health Care. The rep. from HL states what kind of policy they'd like to offer their employees. They want one that covers, say, pregnancies, reconstructive surgeries, in-home rehabilitative care, etc., and birth control. But not every kind of birth control - just drugs A,B,C, or D. If an employee visits her doctor and is prescribed drugs E or F for birth control. we at H.L. do not want United to cover the cost of those drugs.
I just don't get why United, or any other insurance co., would allow H.L. to carve up a policy and pick and choose the parts they like. And another question no one seems to be asking: did H.L., by convincing their ins. provider to exclude coverage of the drugs they find offensive, get a lower rate? If I own a company with 100 employees and I offer health ins., can I negotiate with the provider about which specific drugs I'd like their policies to cover?

There are going to be surprising repercussions from this. Just ask my buddy Ruth. The "veil" has been pierced. There's no going back.

Why does that get through and contraception doesn't?

WHY? And why can't we start getting active about that?

their employer covered healthcare it's okay. But if a woman wants to use birthcontrol, it offends their religious convictions? Anyone who votes Rethuglican is loony.

Biblically diabolical.

If this doesn't get the women out to the polls in every election from this point forward, nothing will. There's allot of men that don't like this decision any better than women. I feel a serious backlash coming on.

The dumbass Roberts court says the law cannot make a religious corporation pay for contraception. But the law can make the religious corporation pay taxes. And it's perfectly all right for the government to pay for contraception with those tax dollars.

Chief Justice Roberts, do you get how that doesn't make a damn bit of sense?

Worst Supreme Court ever.
