Hobby Lobby family: Our $800m D.C. Bible museum will save U.S. from ‘very scary’ future
The family of evangelical Christians that owns the Hobby Lobby chain of crafts supply stores is planning a sprawling, $800 million “Bible museum” in the nation’s capital, just blocks away from the National Mall.
The New York Times reported that the Green family — flush from their victory before the U.S. Supreme Court — want to leave their mark not only on the nation’s laws, but on the capital city itself.
Earlier this summer, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-to-4 decision that the company is within its rights to deny women employees insurance coverage for health costs related to contraception. The Green family pled before the Court that providing such coverage to women would violate the family’s freedom to practice the Christian faith as protected under the First Amendment.
Thusly the Court, currently led by Christian conservative Justice John Roberts, struck down a key provision of the Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — which mandated that employers provide women with birth control coverage as part of their employee health plans.
