[KatRN05]

Today, the Supreme Court handed down their decision in favor of Hobby Lobby not having to provide insurance coverage for contraception due to the religious views held by the company. Thoughts?

I think ole Ruth is right and this is the first step into a minefield.

Nonprofits and churches work to serve a cause of their own and attract people of like minds. Businesses work to make a profit. That is the cause they serve. Using "religion" as a basis for trying to protect profit margins is shameful and should have been laughed out of court.

I think that if men had the babies the outcome would have been differnt.

It kind of opened a big can of worms. So, will these companies then be able to discriminate against people who are gay because their religion says it's wrong?

Also, if the CEOs of Hobby Lobby knew anything about IUDs, they'd know that IUD's are not abortifacients.
