Birth control isn't banned. Employees will just have to pay for it themselves or go to work for employers who will provide "free" birth control.

Plan B? Are you advocating its use every time a woman has sex? Get real. It's an emergency contraceptive.
I strongly disagree with the Supreme Court. Corporations, companies or closely-held companies were never mentioned in the Constitution, that I am aware of.

And if you and your husband wish to elect (key word there) to chemically sterilize yourselves you are certainly free to do that - but you cannot require someone else to violate their religious principles to provide you that option. That's pretty straightforward and logical, isn't it? HobbyLobby and Harris weren't saying you shouldn't have access to abortifacients, drugs and devices which induce a miscarriage, they simply refuse, for religious reasons, to help you acquire them and assist you in your effort to destroy a human life. And, rightfully, they maintain that the federal government may not compel them to violate those religious principles either. After all, one of the central premises under which this Union was founded was the right of every individual to worship according to their conscience instead of the government's.Cathy_Lee wrote:

I don't know about you, but my birth control isn't free. It's covered by my health insurance since it requires a doctor's checkup to get. It's also something I take on a daily basis and will until I stop ovulating.
So what do you and your wife do for birth control, Fred? Some of you guys seem to think it's only used by single women.

There are certain laws the federal government is not delegated the power to enact, and compelling one to violate their religious beliefs falls within that category. The owners of HobbyLobby feel that abortifacients are immoral. You don't have to share that belief, you just can't force your beliefs onto them if you don't.fly off the handle wrote: Just wait until Muslim business owners realize they are exempt from our laws
