“ONE VOTE... ONE VOTE... ONE VOTE... ARGH GNASH GNASH! IT COULD HAVE BEEN ALL OUR SHOW BUT FOR ONE VOTE...”
This is actually pretty funny, and, potentially quite entertaining. It may apply to other contraceptives (which I myself do not care about, that being irrelevant) but it ALSO applies ONLY to “closely held corporations”-—of strong religious beliefs. We have the logical “and” condition. BOTH conditions must be extant, as I read the opinion. I have no idea how many such corporations actually exist, but I would suspect it is astoundingly small, further reduced by limiting the exemption to those with “strong religious beliefs”. Thus, in practical terms, if we think this “newly expanded” interpretation is so, (eg; ALL contraceptives) then this newly expanded interpretation applies to just about nobody. But boy oh boy, the thrashing and wailing of the left is going to go another fat quantum higher, that’s for sure.
