Do you agree with the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision?

I have now read both the Majority and dissenting opinions released by SCOTUS. I do agree with the majority decision.

For me it comes down to choice and personal responsibility where contraceptives are concerned. A lot of people will jump up and down and scream "women's rights" and "women's health" etc. To them I say that they have the right to not have sex. They have the right to make the man wear a condom when having sex. IMHO they DO NOT have the right to shirk responsibility and expect others to pick up the pieces when they drop the ball.

I actually took the time to read the ruling (and the dissenting opinion) this morning and I do agree with the decision. I also agree with the decision on Harris v. Quinn (although that ruling has a very narrow basis).

Yes, I agree with the Supreme Court. I think it's sad than many people don't realize exactly what that ruling was. Even the article cited is highly misleading. Hobby lobby has in no way refused to provide contraception, it only refused after the fact contraception.

I agree with hobby lobby and the bottom line is they should be able to choose what health insurance they provide if an employee does not like it they are free to either go elsewhere for employment or they can pay for their own private medical insurance.

I can not believe how many adult on RALLY POINT can not read and understand. First, this ruling allows Hobby Lobby to opt out of 4 types of birth control. They still supply 16 others for their employees.

WOW I just can not believe such BS, and WAR on Women crap is posted here and other place.

Example means if you a woman want the day after birth control pill and you work for HOBBY LOBBY you have to pay for it yourself. If you want the daily pill or 15 other kind of birth control and work for hobby lobby it is paid for.

READ and understand.

Hobby Lobby have already been providing contraceptive care through their provided insurance. What they didn't want to pay for was the "day after pill" or the abortion pill, which is against their policies and beliefs as a company deeply rooted in Christian beliefs. I support them and am glad the Supreme Court backed them, even though it should have never have gone that high up in the justice system.

In our society we have determined that we will not force someone to commit a sin in accordance with their belief system as long as there is not an overwhelming detriment to society.
The threshold of "deeply held religious beliefs" isn't something that you can just fake.

Understand that most religions do not differentiate between business personal conduct as it pertains to sin.
Commit a sin and be held accountable for the consequences.

It is unacceptable and immoral to force an individual, by way of his or her ownership in a closely held business, to sin against their belief structure, simply for the convenience of a voluntarily employed individual.

You consider benefits when you pursue civilian employment.
If that small shop run by Christian Scientists doesn't meet your needs in the benefit department, go elsewhere.

At some point you have to be able to stand behind the beliefs on your company. You have a choice as to whether you stay with a company or not. This will draw a lot of debate for many days to come.

I have to agree with Hobby Lobby. I am not responsible for you getting pregnant, so why should I have to pay to murder your child. If its from Rape then the child can be born and the given up for adoption. If you don't want to have the child, they make the day after pill take it and be done with the pregnancy. You pay for it. I am responsible for catching the perpetrator and see that he pays for his actions. When I say catch, I mean I pay the Police salaries and they have a duty to perform to protect you from such assaults. I know all can not be prevented but the woman has specific duties to perform by watching where she is and what she is doing. Lock the doors on car, home and Motel rooms, don't flirt with men in Bars. Know who you are with! Etc. Confucius say Rape impossible, Woman run faster with dress up than man with pants down. What I am getting at is, get a license, carry a weapon be trained and prepared to use it to protect yourself. If I see an attack I will get involved and I am armed! I will do all I can once again to protect the innocent and their rights, even if it means my death. I at least have tried and usually win!

This is about America's favorite political topic, who is going to pay for something I want? It goes from people demanding Hobby Lobby to pay for what they want to MIT health economist Johnathan Gruber, who can be watched saying:

“This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes,” Gruber said in one 52-second clip. “If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. OK, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed.”

Gruber then trumpeted the value of a “lack of transparency” — and called American voters stupid. “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass.”

Critical for those who think that the government has the right to reach into your pocket to pay political favors.

Rubbers are cheap. The pill is cheap. Abstinence is free. I don't care what you choose, as long as you don't demand that I pay for your choice.
