After reading some of the Twitter Hobby Lobby Love posts,

[Ilsa]

I find it very disturbing how narrow and twisted the thinking is in support of SCOTUS' s HL decision. Lots of insults and talking points.

There were a few tweets ranting about "I shouldn't have to pay for your birth control pills," etc. I remember that years ago, it was "I don't want my tax dollars paying for abortion." Nevermind the costs of unwanted pregnancies in an overcrowded world.

Tweets also went on about "religious liberty". There was no dissecting of the decision's limitations about applying only toward contraception, a mostly Roman Catholic Church position. (I am not certain which other denominations of Christianity specifically in writing forbid the use of any contraception, just unnamed fundalmentalism.) There were no comments about this establishment of RCC as the standard for religious liberty.

The lack of logic about one set of FDA approved drugs is mindboggling. They claim that the drugs don't treat a disease, but interfere with a natural state (pregnancy). What if the same logic was applied to antihypertensive medications? If a person is overweight and needs blood pressure medication, the drug is interfering with the natural result of obesity.

Okay, I'm just ranting now...

1. At the base of it, this is just "I hate those fornicators"

Nothing else. Same old crap that has been around since Gawd knows when. Somebody is getting some, and it's not the hater, so the hate goes on.

Childbirth and Babies are Gawd's punishment for fornication. Anything that prevents that just denies the haters satisfaction.

2. seems like

All disease preventing or curing are in fact interfering in natural course of events the diseases are natural... That would be christian science viewpoint the rest are picking and choosing to fit their particular fetish.

4. It's all about freedumb.

Or better yet freedom to be dumb. Those have to be some of the most ignorant tweets ever.

5. They won't be happy when other religions get in on this

And they most certainly will.

Single Payer NOW.

7. I would not count on that

The current RW SCOTUS doesn't bother with logic, or reason.

8. Most obviously

I would love for a truly whackjob church to ask for something and then claim discrimination when they don't get it. Because now only corps and churches have rights in this country dontcha know. A very smart, liberal law firm could find a way to do this. It's also the best sales pitch for single payer I can think of.

6. The people who run Hobby Lobby are Baptist, and tight with the ATI (Gothard) people. nt

9. Thought they were Mennonites, but it's the same thing...

somehow our freedom from religion just got trumped by their freedom of religion.

10. Nope, the Connestoga wood people are Mennonites.
