VICTORY FOR HOBBY LOBBY!!!!!!!!
In case you were not aware, Hobby Lobby and another conservative Christian company, Conestoga Wood, have been fighting the Obamacare mandate to provide their employees with medications that can cause abortions. Today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of these companies. Here is an article about it by WORLD MAGAZINE - a Christian news magazine.
Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties won big at the Supreme Court on Monday when the court ruled family-owned
businesses have religious freedom protection from Obamacare’s
contraceptive mandate. But the decision left many questions unanswered
as the court said the government could find alternate ways to provide
the objectionable contraceptives to the companies’ employees. Hobby
Lobby and Conestoga Wood don’t have to cover Plan B and Ella, but now
other objectors will wait and see what the federal government decides to
do next.
The evangelical Green family owns Hobby Lobby and the Mennonite Hahn family owns Conestoga Wood. Both families object to providing coverage for Plan B and Ella on the grounds that those drugs can act as abortifacients. They provide coverage for the other forms of contraceptives.
Justice Samuel Alito, one of the court’s Roman Catholics, wrote the opinion, which Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas joined. The four liberal justices on the court—Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan—dissented.
