Would You Boycott a Business Because of the Owner's Political Views?

Lol, you guys would really hate me if I owned a business. I'd be one of the people on the liberal news that you guys would demonize. Because I too wouldn't want to pay for the specific birth control types that most caused abortions. And I too donate money to my local Church. And while I think gay couples should have all the legal benefits/tax exemptions as same sex couples do as far as the state is concerned, as far as the Church itself is concerned, I agree with their decision to only do marriages between one man and one women who are not previously married.

The point is, you guys would think I was a horrible person without even knowing me. Just bc these ppl don't agree with you on certain things doesn't make them the demon.

C_L. No one is or ever was asking Hobby Lobby to pay for birth control. They refused to allow their employees to pay for it. The contributions come from the employees paychecks. They were objecting because they didn't want their employees to use their own discretion in which BC methods to use.

The worst part is that their claim was based on thoroughly debunked junk science. The 4 methods in question did not, in fact, cause abortion. They prevented endometrial implantation of the fertilized egg. So a woman who uses those drugs was never pregnant in the first place, which is a pretty important precondition for having an abortion, you know.

Either way, would you agree that it is pretty shitty for a company to try and limit its employees' health options?

But they still believe life begins at conception. Not at implantation. So they are morally opposed to drugs that would keep implantation from happening, thus killing the newly conceived human. We're calling it an abortion in that sense.

As for your last question, it's a bit loaded. Their employees can get those 4 birth controls if they'd like, oitside of tje plan. The conflict is the ppl who own HL have a big moral objection to abortion, so they understandably don't want the insurance they provide and pay for to cover that. And again, I don't think omitting 4 types of birth control from the 20 that are available is some sort of "limit to health care." I really don't see how that is so horribly unreasonable.
