At a press conference Thursday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said people with religious beliefs who disagree with the Obamacare contraception mandate should be given a choice between living by their faith or being allowed to form a corporation to do business.
“You’re born with a religion or you adopt a religion. You have to obey the precepts of that religion and the government gives you a wide penumbra – you don’t have to form a corporation,” Schumer said.
In the Hobby Lobby case, decided last month, the Supreme Court ruled that a closely-held family-owned corporation could not be forced by the government to violate their Christian beliefs by providing insurance coverage for drugs and devices that can cause abortions. Schumer argues that the court "misapplied" the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

Hey Schumer! Choose a form of government: A Republic or Communism.
Oh, wait! He already has chosen what he wants. Never mind...

Chuckie,
I am a citizen of the United States of America and have a G-d-given right to pursue my faith AND have a business. Chuckles, what have you actually produced in your life? What product or service have you brought to the market? What good have you ever done? Who have you served other than yourself?

The Constitution allows a person to have a business without conditioning the business on violating one’s religious faith. That is pretty elementary constitutional law, Mr. Shumer.
