The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday sided with the Obama administration in the nationwide legal battle over the mandate to cover contraception services in the new health care law, marking the second time a federal appeals court rebuffed to a company who said the mandatory coverage of birth control violates its religious beliefs.
A third court, seated in Denver, took an opposing view in July when it granted the Hobby Lobby crafts franchise an injunction that shields the Oklahoma City company from the mandate tied to the Affordable Care Act until the merits of their case can be heard.

I hope every employer who is demanding respect for the God-given and legally guaranteed First Amendment right to freedom of religion will shut down their businesses, or at least fire all but 49 employees, rather than submit to the petty tyrant’s demands. That form of unemployment should be Obama’s legacy for as long as this evil and destructive law is in effect.

There is no rule of law; there is no justice. If you want justice, you will have to take it. You don’t like the ruling, shut your business down and start a smaller one, not subject to the law. You don’t like what’s going on in your state, leave.
I’m about ready to abandon my home and go somewhere else that has sanity.
