The owners of the retail chain Hobby Lobby have a religious and moral objection to paying for contraception and specifically pills that cause abortion. The rules of ObamaCare force the company to cover these products. The issue is now before the Supreme Court.
Earlier today radio news reports played audio of hysterical protesters outside the court claiming Hobby Lobby is endangering the protester's health. Get a grip, protest babes. Unless you work for Hobby Lobby, their policies do not affect you at all. Second, the lawsuit does not deny anyone access to said products, it merely states that the company should not be forced to pay for them. Even if you work at Hobby Lobby, you can have all of the sex you desire, protected and unprotected, you can take the morning after pill, you can have an abortion. The costs will not be covered under your company-provided benefits.
These bosses don’t agree with birth control, so they want to take away their employees’ birth-control coverage. That’s just plain offensive,” declares NARAL. “Women and families should determine what medications they need. Your birth control is not your boss’s business!” The group is also intending to bring the signatures of thousands that it has gathered online to show support for the birth control mandate. sourceIndeed "[y]our birth control is not your bosses business". I think Hobby Lobby would agree.
No one is denied anything. Women will have the same rights to acquire and use contraception regardless of whether Hobby Lobby wins or loses. Yes, young lady, your body remains yours -- do with it what you will. You gotta pay to play, if you work at Hobby Lobby. No one is telling you that you can't, just the company will not pay for it. If you cannot grasp the difference you are either stupid, or willfully ignorant.

It continually boggles the mind as to exactly why this is an issue. If you don't like Hobby Lobby's policy, you're free to go work somewhere else. And shop somewhere else, if it comes to that.
I have the same bogglement when it comes to Chick-Fil-A, and establishments that used to allow smoking until the city forced them to stop, and any other employer/merchant who have what these darn kids today think is antiquated beliefs and policies.
Hell, Wal-Mart, for that matter. You think Target treats their people any better than Wal-Mart? But nobody ever talks about how evil Target is, even though they left themselves wide open to an identity theft attack not too long ago.
If you don't like it, don't patronize it and don't work for it. Get off my lawn. Geez. How simple is that?
I think stupid is the more likely option here.
Just more liberal lying bullshit about the so called war on women. Looks more like a war on men, where is the mandatory coverage for male reproduction products?

I am SO sick of this war on women crap I could scream. I find it so ironic that the same women that were burning their bras in the 70's to get equal rights are the wimpy, precious chicks that now have to have someone take care of them.
It's all BS. Sandra Fluke is the perfect example of how far off track those idiots have gone.
Pay for your own damned birth control.
If everyone could refuse to pay for abortion, then maybe nobody would and then where would these poor women get their abortions paid for for free?
Planned Parenthood's not gonna do it for free.
