Nope. The owners are busy doing bad things to American women.

Knitting needles were once a way for a woman to attempt a home abortion. It's dark humor.

Any extras over and above what China needs to enforce family policy are cheerfully provided to Hobby Lobby with a warm smile!

For all our outrage and around the blogosphere and a modicum of mainstream media scrutiny the vast majority of Americans will remain oblivious to the ruling, and oblivious to Hobby Lobby. The people that shop there and I know a few in my own family and church(Episcopal) do not appear to be moved by the decision in any direction and my sister who calls herself "liberal" said she had no idea what it was about when were talking about it over while family was over for July 4th, and she shops there.

doesn't think that women are included in the 14th amendment, which guarantees equal protection of the laws to all "persons" in the US? That he doesn't think women are fully citizens or even fully persons?

And yet corporations are persons . . . .
