Supreme Court just ruled FOR Hobby Lobby.

Yea baby.......it will be visited again, as this was a 5/4 decision. And the decision only effects closely owned corporations. Closely Owned are those that are family owned or tightly controlled, PRIVATE businesses.

Women could always just pay for birth control pills - they're dirt cheap. Or use condoms. Or you could just get married like the rest of us and the birth control will take care of itself. Just buy one less latte frappe crappy a month for crying out loud. Shouldn't even need a supreme court decision.....

hahahaha that sure could put them in a bad light. In the world of politics and big business there are very few rules that apply.....They got what they wanted regardless of this article. I wonder if they are gong to fix this? If they don't after all this is out then they deserve what comes their way.

Is this what "yea baby" means Mr. Fisher?... You seem to be a great believer in 'do away with the welfare system' so in that vein your tickled that a company can deny it's employees birth control based on their bottom line.... I mean religious belief, so it seems you would like to see more kids born into food stamps instead of less...

This is a copy and paste from an article written after the supreme court decision...

“Other closely held companies now have a license to harm their employees in the name of the company’s religion,” she said. “If companies qualify, they can use this decision to make the same claim.”

How many large cap mutual funds don't include Pfizer or a handful of the other big player drug manufacturers?

Don't know anything about fund managing but it seems there are options...

In their Supreme Court complaint, Hobby Lobby's owners chronicle the many ways in which they avoid entanglements with objectionable companies. Hobby Lobby stores do not sell shot glasses, for example, and the Greens decline requests from beer distributors to back-haul beer on Hobby Lobby trucks.
Similar options exist for companies that want to practice what's sometimes called faith-based investing. To avoid supporting companies that manufacture abortion drugs—or products such as alcohol or pornography—religious investors can turn to a cottage industry of mutual funds that screen out stocks that religious people might consider morally objectionable. The Timothy Plan and the Ave Maria Fund, for example, screen for companies that manufacture abortion drugs, support Planned Parenthood, or engage in embryonic stem cell research. Dan Hardt, a Kentucky financial planner who specializes in faith-based investing, says the performances of these funds are about the same as if they had not been screened. But Hobby Lobby's managers either were not aware of these options or chose not to invest in them.

Do you even have an idea of what PERSONAL responsibility means.
