In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision that closely held corporations like Hobby Lobby can refuse to offer coverage for certain types of contraception based on their owners’ religious beliefs, thousands of people have made it clear they’re unhappy with the ruling. Over the past two weeks, people have rallied at Hobby Lobby locations across the country and called for widespread boycotts of its products.
