RE:”
The Hobby Lobby ruling may at first seem like a victory for the minority of Americans who think that both abortion and contraception should be illegal, and for those who believe that the US should operate more as a theocracy than a country where state and church are separate. However, the ruling not only is terrible news for women seeking a guarantee of good healthcare through their employer, but also for anybody who believes in personal freedom. “ Pretty entertaining, but the libs on MSNBC are really talking this way.
You would think that Hobby Lobby had a rule that employees cannot use BC at all, from the words the libs use.

"The Hobby Lobby ruling may at first seem like a victory for the minority of Americans who think that both abortion and contraception should be illegal, and for those who believe that the US should operate more as a theocracy than a country where state and church are separate."
Various observations:
1. Some people oppose abortion but not birth control.
2. Some people support both legal abortion and birth control, but do not want to be required to pay for others' access to them.
3. Some people support legal abortion and birth control, but believe that whether they (or other specific services) should be included in a private health care plan is none of the federal government's business.
4. Opposing abortion is not tantamount to supporting a "theocracy." There are some atheists and agnostics who oppose some or all abortions.
5. The freedom of an individual or business not to pay for something it morally opposes is not equivalent to theocracy.
6. Allowing freedom of conscience in matters of life ethics or sexual ethics is actually the opposite of a theocracy, in which only one view is allowed and in which adherence to a specific religion is mandated..
