Religious Liberty?

[robvalue]

Adherence to the laws of the land here in America trump any religious faith, if the two conflict. This is not a "violation of religious freedom", it is enshrining the rule of law as paramount.

As for Hobby Lobby et al not wanting their plans to offer birth control or abortion coverage on religious grounds, I think it needs to be said how much those employers contribute towards the premiums. I know that often jobs like that will offer plans with no employer contribution at all. If HL is helping pay the premiums, I can see their concerns as valid, but if not, then it is between the insurance company and the employee, no?

It has to be that way, if you want any kind of sensible country.

Otherwise, people can just make up any shit on the spot, call it their religion, and ignore any secular law they want.
