I’ve weighed in from the beginning. I don’t like this. It will backfire and, in time, will enable discrimination against us as Christians. Fortunately, it was a VERY narrow ruling so that may save us.
But did you see the one where the Government can pay for the Contraception per the opinion? So the Government will soon be paying for it out of existing ACA funds.
I may stand alone here, but I think this ruling is a disaster for the reasons stated.

Interesting that SCOTUS assumes the regulation serves a compelling government interest; and strikes it down on other grounds.
It appears this decision addresses the “for-profit” employers only. Will they have to provide the secondary insurance like non-profits are doing that will provide the specific contraceptive with which they religiously object?
This is wonderful news.My husband and I were watching it live.WOOOHOOOO
Here’s an important question that we all need to consider...
Do you all think Obama is going to actually COMPLY with the Supreme Court ruling? What if he were to unilaterally declare that he will not abide by the ruling because “discrimination against women’s health care choices and rights will not be tolerated by the Supreme Court”?
Folks, I’m telling you... Don’t think for a moment these thoughts aren’t currently crossing the tyrannical Kenyan communist dictator’s mind.
And then Scalia said I had shown particular contempt for the very framework of the Constitution....
...I'm losing count.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen more outright trolls, “concern trolls” and weepy defeatists as I have on these Hobby Lobby threads today. If the Viking Kitties are hungry (and I have a hunch they are), there’s a whole buffet waiting for them!
Hobby Lobby wins, but what about the many larger corporations that are not closely held?
My fellow conservative FReepers,
The U.S. Supreme Court made history today. I believe that this is the first time that a majority of the court has agreed with a plaintiff’s argument that LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION!
This is a MAJOR DEFEAT for the abortion industry and liberals who have tried to argue that life only begins at birth.
