It's never been about contraception or religious freedom

it's always been about "control".

Hobby Lobby and other corporations complaining about their "religious freedom" and "moral values", have absolutely no problem doing business with the Chinese government who mandate birth control.

There is a very simple reason why this is, and just a small part of it is profit. It's always been about having power and control over workers. They've done this through paying "shit wages", illegal anti-union intimidation, random drug-testing, reprisals against any employee that questions the corporate power and bribery of local and national politicians.

The reason they have no problem doing business with a country like China is because China already has complete control of workers. China's labor policy is precisely what these corporations wish to bring to America That's why they will fight tooth and nail against anything that even remotely impedes their ability to control their employees.

The fight against the ACA Contraception rule is just a smoke screen. If they have to provide quality contraception to their employees...what's next a living wage?

.."Hobby Lobby"..I thought it was a mega-Hobby store, not a "Craft" store. I have nothing against craft stores but they also
call themselves "Craft Stores"

Hobby stores (at least in my lifetime) , have cool Trains and Train Sets, Model Airplanes...both small and huge...A place to buy Gem stone stuff and polamer Clay for making neat shit. ..NOT a craft store that sells cheap China junk.

Hobby Lobby reminds me of a Dollar Store that sells Nikon Astrophotography Cameras...Ah...yeah...sure you do..
