I like Hobby Lobby. I just discovered it a few months ago and fell in love with the darn store. Which is why it pained me to hear about the case they were bringing to the US Supreme Court: limiting their health insurance policy to exclude birth control for employees for "religious reasons"? It pained me only a little less than the fact that SCOTUS actually ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. How can such a ruling that's so stuck in the dark ages actually pass through the United States Supreme Court?
The worst part is that seeing that Hobby Lobby is more of a craft store, I'm sure most of their employees are women; women struggling to make ends meet and women who have families already. How can you deny them the right to any medicine because you believe something that they might not? Last I checked, it was illegal to ask for religious affiliation on a job application. So Hobby Lobby can't know if their employees have the same beliefs. Why should they be forced to practice the same thing, just to earn a buck?
