- The exemption sought by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga would…deny legions of women who do not hold their employers’ beliefs access to contraceptive coverage”

no it wouldn't !!! they are free to buy of the contraceptive coverage they wish!!! to suggest otherwise is to also imply that because Hobby Lobby doesn't buy guns for each of it's employees is to deny them their 2nd amendment rights!

- “Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.”

Any worker that is bothered by this is free to walk down and apply for a job at BET! Freedom worker BOTH ways! I am free to hire who I wish and you are free to choose to work for who you wish!

- “Any decision to use contraceptives made by a woman covered under Hobby Lobby's or Conestoga’s plan will not be propelled by the Government, it will be the woman's autonomous choice, informed by the physician she consults.”

wrong, the contraceptive mandate, was just that a MANDATE by the government. It's no business of the government to mandate something of that nature onto a free people.

“It bears note in this regard that the cost of an IUD is nearly equivalent to a month's full-time pay for workers earning the minimum wage.”

ROFL ! that's a flat out LIE!!! birth control pills cost around $20 a month!

- “Would the exemption…extend to employers with religiously grounded objections to blood transfusions (Jehovah's Witnesses); antidepressants (Scientologists); medications derived from pigs, including anesthesia, intravenous fluids, and pills coated with gelatin (certain Muslims, Jews, and Hindus); and vaccinations[?]…Not much help there for the lower courts bound by today's decision.”

I would hope so! No person or business should be MANDATED to provide ANYTHING it doesn't wish to it's employees!!! WHAT IS SO FREAKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! If the potential or current employees don't like that pay or benefits... they are FREE to GET ANOTHER JOB!!!! It's called FREEDOM!

“Approving some religious claims while deeming others unworthy of accommodation could be ‘perceived as favoring one religion over another,’ the very ‘risk the [Constitution's] Establishment Clause was designed to preclude.”
“The court, I fear, has ventured into a minefield.”

As stated above, no it doesn't because there is no double standard, a muslim employer SHOULD be able to deny ANY benefit it chooses to it's employees for ANY reason including religious!!!! Again it's called FREEDOM! and it applies to everyone equally!

take THAT you old communist windbag!

In the liberal mind, abortion is "contraception." Abortion prevents an unwanted child.
