SCOTUS Rules In Favor Of Hobby Lobby

Quote:It's a historic day in Washington as the Supreme Court sided with a challenge to the ObamaCare mandate on businesses covering contraceptives for women. The mandate was challenged by Hobby Lobby, which objected on religious grounds.

Looks like we won't be paying for Sandra Fluke's contraceptives after all....BHA HA HA HA!!!!!

This is called objection of conscience, it can be done for religious, moral, ethical or other personal reasons. Put it simply, if a doctor is against abortion, you can't force him to practice such conduct. This is why some countries have abortion specialized clinics, the only doctors that work there are the ones who agree. In my country it works this way. I completely support this as an atheist, if I didn't want to sell abortion pills because I'm ethically against it, or perform euthanasia on a patient because I'm ethically against it, the state shouldn't force me to do this, it's a basic rule in a civilized state.

HOWEVER, I'm not sure about the legality considering we are talking merely about contraceptives and not about something like abortion, euthanasia or going to a war, topics that bring a lot more ethical issues than contraception. It is a though matter, I'll think about objection of conscience regarding contraceptives and later I'll tell you my opinion, I've done dozes of debates in law school regarding this problems and something like this never arose.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
