I received this email from Hobby Lobby today...SICK!

The Greens and their family businesses have asked the courts to relieve them of the obligation under the Affordable Care Act to provide four specific potentially life threatening drugs and devices in conflict with their deeply held religious convictions.

The Greens and their family businesses have no moral objection to the use of the other 16 contraceptives required by the Affordable Care Act and will continue their longstanding practice of providing them to employees under the Hobby Lobby health insurance plan.

For more information, I would encourage you to go to the Hobby Lobby website on the case and read the FAQ section there. The address is http://hobbylobbycase.com.

better. And, who wants to patronize a store on a mission from "their" god. Maybe they can rename their stores, God, Inc.

...then psychiatric treatment and medication is out of the question.

If the business is run by Jehovah's Witlesses, then nobody can get a transfusion.

I have to believe that a majority of the Supreme Court can easily discern the madness which would ensue from this sort of thing.

There are religious objections to divorce and remarriage, as well as to inter-racial marriage, I guess they'll be next in line to claim that they are exempt from including "marriages to which we object" in what they deem to be allowable spousal benefits.

This is just nuts.
