Evidently the definition of freedom is "free stuff"...

...and the ability to murder your unborn child any way you want at any time you want and get others to pay for it.

Wow, what a CV. I’d be so ashamed of that I’d probably retire to a remote island where they never heard of me.

Another person who has reached adulthood without having done anything constructive in his entire life. The Left is full of these parasites who self-proclaim they are our betters and know how we should live our lives.

My vision care for years did not cover a Dr. I chose to use. I used him since he did additional tests for a condition that ran in my family.

I was not denied access. I CHOSE to use a doctor that was not covered, and paid full price. Isn't that what they mean by pro-choice?

I imagine it would be possible to delude one’s self even more about some issue than this article does but it wouldn’t be easy. There are just so many assertions about this ruling that are completely false in there.

His bio also says he writes for Baseball Prospectus and blogs about baseball. If he understands baseball as well as he understands the Hobby Lobby case, he probably thinks the Yankees need a new quarterback.

Not even a doctor should come between a woman and her birth control. Make all birth control over the counter.

(victory)....for those who believe that the US should operate more as a theocracy than a country where state and church are separate

This guy obviously has never heard of the 1st amendment.

The Hobby Lobby decision didn’t have anything to do with contraception. Contraception is defined as the deliberate use of artificial methods or other techniques to prevent pregnancy.

The decision affects morning after type “tools” which - by definition - only help after pregnancy has begun.

The interesting thing here, is that they consider the deletion of these pills from the guaranteed coverage package as tantamount to denying being able to get them.

What this bespeaks is a GRAND slavery to Uncle Sugar. It’s like if Uncle Sugar isn’t furnishing something you don’t have the option to get it some other way.

People who beg for slavery do not have a right to complain when their masters start getting perverse on them.

“When most Americans are about to start a new job, or choosing between two or more jobs, one of the first questions they ask is about the quality of the health insurance they will get.”

Oh, this is rich. I can just imagine the prospective employee in the obameconomy thinking “Is the healthcare better working 29 hours per week at McDonald’s or at Burger King?”

This guy doesn’t get out much...

What this Supreme Court decision did was to UPHOLD the religious rights and freedoms of the owners of Hobby Lobby that they are guaranteed to under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. The court has just decided that the government cannot force privately held companies to provide certain contraceptives (four only) that they object to for religious reasons.

This court decision does not ERODE women’s rights to contraception. Last time I checked, there is no mention in the Constitution of the right of women to have all the contraceptives known to man given to them for FREE. This is something Obama and Sebelius forced Hobby Lobby and other companies to do AFTER ObamaCare was passed into law, because some fluzzy named Sandra Fluke publicly whined about not being able to get her contraceptives for free. Women are not being denied the freedom to use contraceptives. They never have been. They still have contraceptives available to them. They may have to cover the cost of the four not offered by Hobby Lobby anymore. But then previous to Obama forcing this down employers’ throats, women had to pay for their contraceptives anyway.

This ruling is not about women’s rights, which are not delineated in the Constitution. It is about religious rights, which are spelled out in the Constitution.

This Lincoln guy has got it all backwards. His liberal petty coat is showing.

By ruling that corporations, on the grounds of the alleged religious views of their owners, can deny women access to some forms of contraception, the court set a horrible precedent that if followed will endanger the health and lives of many American women.

This statement is just so typical of the doomsday propaganda that airheads on the left are spewing in reaction to the SCOTUS Hobby Lobby decision.

The employer "can deny women access to some forms of contraception"? If some item or service is denied in an insurance policy, it only means that the insurance policy will not pay for it. I doesn't mean that these female employees are being "denied access" to these forms of contraception, because they can pay out of their own pockets (the price is very modest) or, if necessary, get the item and service they want from some other source, like Planned Parenthood.

This whole idea that government or corporations have to pay for every product or service under the sun is insane. It's this entitlement and hand-out mentality that is a major factor in the growing decadence of American society.
