I agree, although I say that with the caveat that I haven't read the decision in its entirety.
On the other hand, conservatives should be thrilled that it's a small win, in principle,
for Sharia Law.
Sharia Law is based on religious beliefs and doctrines. If the Court has held that religious 'laws' can be exempted from having to adhere to other protected rights in the Constitution,
then Sharia law becomes superior to the Constitution.
I don't think corporations should have to cover plan b, but I wish they would be honest on what it is.
Every citizen has the right to have every medical treatment covered by the taxpayers...they are owed ! Lol
Four judges still don't know what freedom means.
It is.
It has opened the door to religious discrimination.
This was an extremely stupid ruling.
It's nonsense.
I want you to do me a favor. Take this out of the insurance argument.
Let me ask you this: Lets say that someday a company is founded by a Muslim that becomes, lets say, a nationwide chain of car dealerships. As we know, Muslims have a big problem being subordinate to a woman.
Could a company that is completely privately held by a Muslim family, find religious footing to not promote women?
Sure.
Now you can answer a question.
Why would a woman, knowing she may not receive a promotion because she is a woman, choose to work for your hypothetical Muslim Company?
ill answer, because sometimes that's all they can get at the moment.Would anyone be forced to do business with that muslim company? Could it survive with no customers? The free market works, if you don't like Hobby Lobby stay out of their stores.
No, if you're a woman working for the company, does the company NOW have the cause based on their religion to NOT promote you since their faith is very patriarchal?
You're pretty good at asking for answers.
Answering simple questions: Not so much;
I'll ask again:
Why would a woman, knowing she may not receive a promotion because she is a woman, choose to work for your hypothetical Muslim Company?
, but i disagree, people will still try because now they have a foothold to go off of." It's fact-specific and applies to BC only."
Have to see what the scope of the ruling is
On the surface, it can go well beyond birth control
If my boss is Jehovah's Witness, will the insurance he provides have to cover blood transfusions? If my boss is Southern Baptist and my child needs stem cell therapy, will the insurance he provides be required to cover it?
The Conservatives are crowing about this Hobby Lobby decision. Well, crowing right up until they are forced to realize that the religious knife cuts deeper than contraceptives.
Sure.
Now you can answer a question.
Why would a woman, knowing she may not receive a promotion because she is a woman, choose to work for your hypothetical Muslim Company?
If a company doesn't offer adequate wages and benifits then people will not work for the company and the company will fail. Isn't the freemarket wonderful?
If that was true, Walmart would fail.
That's a profoundly terrible ruling.
No, the terrible ruling was the one that said the federal government could fine us for NOT buying a product.
Well no. And the government does that all the time.
This is an extremely bad ruling because now it opens the floodgates for religious discrimination.
This is just as bad as the "Citizen's United" decision.
Conservatives have shown what they want is a Theocracy with this decision and a government that is ruled by the very rich..
Sure.
Now you can answer a question.
Why would a woman, knowing she may not receive a promotion because she is a woman, choose to work for your hypothetical Muslim Company?
If a company doesn't offer adequate wages and benifits then people will not work for the company and the company will fail. Isn't the freemarket wonderful?
If that was true, Walmart would fail.
That's a profoundly terrible ruling.
It's a pretty small victory; Hobby Lobby will have to cover some forms of contraception; it applies to 4 types.
However,
Appearance is a reality in Politics and it looks like a defeat for the Administration so it is.
It's worse than that.
Much worse.
Awesome. Now we can all die because a corporation can assert that their religion prevents them from covering blood transfusions and life saving procedures. While they laugh their asses off to the bank knowing they lied, got Americans killed, and take in more profits.
This country is heading to third world status fast.

Where is the "protected right" of free contraception and morning after pills being provided by corporations in the US Constitution?
The protected right is equal treatment under the law.
Cons to women: We want you bare foot and pregnant.
If specious logic is what it takes to make you feel as if you've actually 'won' something, God bless you in your shallowness.The Liberals are upset that freedom and liberty are victorious. Anyone surprised at that?

If that was true, Walmart would fail.
your premise is flawed. Walmart does offer adequate wages and good benefits. Most walmart employees are shareholders.

Tissue?
that pretty well describes you and the rest of the left wing toads. Freedom----what a terrible concept
The right only wants freedom for themselves, no one else.
Well, you can your ilk can sell yourselves into slavery, for all I care. However, I object if you want to take me with you.
What "freedom" is being denied to you?
Awesome. Now we can all die because a corporation can assert that their religion prevents them from covering blood transfusions and life saving procedures. While they laugh their asses off to the bank knowing they lied, got Americans killed, and take in more profits.

He's absolutely right.
If you don't like the the insurance your employer provides then buy your own on the Obamacare exchange.
