Hobby Lobby Wins!

[Wickabee]

Hobby lobby as a business, is deciding what they want to pay and not pay for. They can do as they please.
Take the religious aspect out of it. They should be able to offer any plan, or no plan if they choose. It's their company not yours.

The simple solution is for Hobby Lobby to stop offering benefits altogether.

no one said the women can't have there medicine, they just need to purchase it themselves. I'm sick of this war on women garbage.

Meanwhile, erectile dysfunction and vasectomy are still covered...
Here some other stuff the Hobby Lobby and the others involved are ok with and still cover 100% too:
AIDS retroviral drugs
antibiotics to treat the infection you got from the nasty needle from when you got a 'I LOVE SATAN' tattoo
Blood Transfusions
Vaccines
Herpes Drugs to fight off a nasty case of the clap you caught while raw dogging a stranger

But yet... the female hobby lobby clerk with the menstruation so heavy she'd be anemic without the pill because of the monthly blood loss... and the woman who suffers from that weird disease that can kill you if you get pregnant... and the teen whose dad is a middle manager and has to deal with the pain of endometriosis... THEY can all just "purchase it themselves" Because their boss knows (KNOWS!) that the little baby Jesus cries every time a woman takes a combination of estrogen and progestin in pill form...or somesuch superstitious nonsense.

I really think the term "raw dogging" should come up more in congress.

If that is what they wanted to do.....

There are 16 other choices available in the plan I believe. Do you know which drugs they are having an issue with?

It really should be that if they don't want to cover it, he can't offer benefits. Plain and simple. I'm sure Christians would be lining up for jobs because of the principle, and it would save them their money without attempting to destroy the system because they don't like the guy who implemented it.

In short, it would have made them look principled, but now they're really just whiners, whether he courts sided with them or not. Baby got his bottle.

Does it matter?

Does it matter?

Yes if people are going to cry war on women or medical issues....
The drugs they objected to were abortion related drugs.

And aren't used for anything else whatsoever?

If that's the case, you have a point. They're still cry babies who feel they get to make medical decisions for their employees. If a woman can't afford it (probably because she works at Hobby Lobby), they've made the choice for her by whining about paying.

Is the family that owns it Catholic? Most protestant churches are fine with birth control but not Catholics.
