"The company is incorporated, so it has to abide by federal and state rules and regulations"

Let's analyze your reasoning.

A newspaper is "incorporated."

A "federal and state rules and regulations" forbids the incorporated newspaper disparaging or disagreeing with legislators in articles or editorials.

According to you the "corporation" has to abide by those "rules and regulations."

What happen to Amendment I? Where in the incorporation papers from the state of incorporation does it state you, as a stockholder/property owner of the incorporation, "forfeit" constitutionally protected rights?

No, incorporation means the company gains certain tax and liability advantages in exchange for whatever the state says they have to do. OK, I'm exaggerating, but that is the theory. When a company incorporates, it is no longer a totally private company. The State dictates in certain areas.

Same thing holds for churches that incorporate, BTW.

If the piper pays ya, then at some point ya gotta pay the piper.

BTW, your example is really lame. Sheesh, if you really wanted to sex it up, you could have made the law require the company to hold public seances every Friday. Come on, where's your originality?

Again I say, the woman wins. (The key idea is: accommodation.)
