BURBANK (CBSLA.com) — Dozens of protesters Monday gathered at a Hobby Lobby store in Burbank in response to last week’s Supreme Court decision that allowed the company to exempt certain contraceptives from employees’ medical insurance on moral grounds.


I hope the store losses millions!

Thanks for the link. At least I'm not alone in my views...

“I think everyone has a right to stand up for what they believe in,” said the woman. “I don’t have a right to force my beliefs on you and you don’t have a right to force my beliefs on me.”

Saying that, I think the supreme court got it wrong as they're allowing the beliefs of a few onto many.

I suspect that the majority of Hobby Lobby's customers are female. I hope they vote with their feet.

What I find really surprising is that one of the co-founders is a woman.

I know I'll get slapped down for this, but I can take the heat :-)

So to begins: Hobby Lobby ruling boosts Eden Foods' insurance fight

""Eden employee benefits include health, dental, vision, life, and a fifty percent 401(k) match," Potter said in a letter on the company's Web site in 2013. "The benefits have not funded "lifestyle drugs," an insurance industry drug classification that includes contraceptives, Viagra, smoking cessation, weight-loss, infertility, impotency, etc. This entire plan is managed with a goal of long-term sustainability.""

Say goodbye to your viagra gentlemen.

smoking cessation, weight-loss,

That is really stupid from the insurers standpoint, those 2 are proven cost cutting programs.

Don't forget the obvious contradiction in that statement made by the company...

"This entire plan is managed with a goal of long-term sustainability."

contraceptives, Viagra, smoking cessation, weight-loss, infertility, impotency.

Me moving over there, or anywhere else, is never going to happen I.D. as I much prefer to stay here where things are much more sensible. ;-)

P.S. No one could even pay me enough for me to even consider doing such a stupid thing.

Cheers.

I'm okay with that.

Corporations are people ?

in my opinion no.

What does that have to do with SCOTUS Decision? Nothing.

Really?

Did you miss the whole bit about Hobby Lobby being a corporation therefore it can claim it has religious freedom?

Saying that, I think the supreme court got it wrong as they're allowing the beliefs of a few onto many.

Unlike other country's: American Freedom is about the Many being unable to impose their belief's on the Few.

It doesn't sound very "free" there these days.

Most Country's: 51% can tell 49% what to do.

Isn't it actually;
34% can tell,
33% wanted to tell,
33% didn't care enough.

Except in countries where voting is mandatory.

No, it seems that the 1% tell the 99% what to do. ;-)

Indeed, American freedom is about how the few can impose their beliefs on the many :) In this case, 5 people imposing their beliefs on the rest of the country.

Thats FREEDOM ladies and gentlemen.
