Oh good God! Here we go. Another false "War on Women" conspiracy contrived by the shrill and hysterical far-left. It was never any secret that the family owned Hobby Lobby is deeply rooted in the Christian faith. If any employee has serious issues with that and with their policy convictions against providing drugs which induce abortions, why work there? Forty eight of the fifty states in this country are "At Will" employment states. If employees don't like a company's policies they're free to start searching for other jobs where they'll be happier.
Quote:Oh, definitely. But, they country is even more sick of conservatives and anyone like them. We'll probably end up with one or two terms with Hillary, and whoever follows will almost certainly be even more liberal than she is. The right wing is too fractured to pose any serious challenge for the White House, and the Teahadist segment is far too extremist to ever have a chance.
Mid-terms are coming in a few months and I say that the Republicans have a very good chance to re-take the Senate and to add even more seats to the House. This country doesn't feel confident and secure about their about their future with barack and the left.
Quote:Yes, the storied American tradition of Christians forcing women to behave the way they want.
No. Preserving the Constitutional right of religious liberty. Companies who have religious convictions against abortions will not be forced to pay for them.
Quote:Last I checked, medical benefits weren't a gift from the employer.Last I checked, it's always been the employer who decides on the terms of the medical plans they offer, unless otherwise negotiated in union contracts. If medical benefits are a major concern for people seeking work then they should look for jobs with companies that offer plans they can be happy with.
Quote:I have convictions against paying for wars, which is a zillion times worse than contraception, but this is a country in which the right have completely rejected any rational sense of priorities.
I have convictions against paying for wars too, as probably everybody does. But we don't live in a kind of bubble world where far-left naivity is going to make it safe enough for our country not to have a prepared military.

Quote:It was an awful mistake to characterize based upon religion. I should not judge any theist that way, I must remember what I said in order to change.
