Hope this thread will not get locked because I am really interested in the reaction around here...birth control pills are available for $9 a month at Target and elsewhere. This is a win for religious freedom and a common sense decision...despite the ruling coming down 5-4 along ideological lines.

 

Millions of harpies who've never been to Hobby Lobby have already announced their boycott on Twitter.

 

There is a powerful cult of ignorance in this country ... good to see its encroachment is being fought.

They still cover boner pills though right? I'm asking for a friend.

 

Damn activist judges.

 

Yes, but only for married men who promise to only use them with their wives for procreation.

 

Definitely not a win for religious freedom, since HL just imposed its religion on its workers.

 

This is all a ploy to distract us from Benghazi.

 

Can't wait till a company refuses to cover in vitro for a lesbian couple who want to have a baby. After all, the evilness of gay people is a sincerely held religious belief.

 

Definitely a win for religious freedom since the government was stopped from imposing its religion on a private company owned by private citizens.

 

The same objections raised by Hobby Lobby et al. would obtain there, as well, without touching on (ha!) the same-sex issue. The in vitro procedure, as I understand it, involves the fertilization of multiple eggs but the implantation of only one (typically); the rest are destroyed (either then or later).
