Hobby Lobby

[Wegra]

I've been hearing a lot of shit about them in the news. Mainly they're cunts if you ask me

I never shopped there but I know there's one right by me and supposedly they made some anti semetic remarks about the guy being jewish and "they don't serve your kind"

What do you think of all this shit?

[Freaki-boy92]

sound like a great big bag 'o' dicks

so to achieve religious freedom you must oppress other religions and other lifestyles? fucking... no.

If I ever try to take over the world, the first thing I'll do is convince a bunch of people that they're victims and that I'm going to help them stand up for themselves.

Now, to escape your status of victimhood, you have to vote for me. Why? ....You got me there

I only go there for Copics for my girlfriend.

And I don't really care when companies do anything to insult religious groups.

Except they're run by fundamentalist Christians and do things that piss off people who don't fall into that exact religious group. Still okay with them then?

You're welcome to boycott a company. But keep that to yourself. Do it alone and keep your cakehole shuts.

They're right.

It's sad that a company trying to cut expenses makes people think that it was ever a moral issue.

[RydiaLockheart]

Before any of that ever went down, I actually bought my wedding cake topper from there. Quite reasonably priced, and it didn't look tacky like a lot of the ones out there now.

Is this about that contraception thing? People sure do love getting riled up over such stupid, insignificant things.

How is a SCOTUS precedent for exempting an employer from providing an employee service based on the superstitions of the company's owner an insignificant thing?

[NekoMika]

Same reason I won't donate to The Salvation Army, religiously backed organizations can be somewhat a bag of sloppy dicks.

So they won't pay for your condoms. You can take your happy ass over to Walgreens for that. What's the big deal?

No male birth control systems were part of the case. Those are still covered. The court ruling was about two types of IUDs and Morning After pills—both of these are purchased by female employees. At a cost of nearly $1000, IUDs must be implanted to prevent pregnancy proactively for 9 years. At a cost of $10-100, Morning After pills prevent pregnancy during the initial stages in the days after conception.

I'm worried that a company can hold a religion and force its religion onto individuals.

[X-Gary-Gigax-X]

I bought a 1.99 plastic platter from them today. I have a lot of respect for people that stand their ground and don't blink in opposition to this administration.

[yurgenburgen]

there is a claim often espoused by anti-semites that jews control everything secretly
if this claim were true, places like hobby lobby would get shut down by the jews

No male birth control systems were part of the case. Those are still covered.

The Supreme Court just ordered all lower courts to rehear cases involving empkoyers rejecting claims for all form of birth control based on religious exemptions.

MotherJones - Supreme Court Broadens Hobby Lobby Ruling to All Forms of Birth Control

So basically, Justice Alito's majority opinion is narrower than the court's.
