Hobbylobby is a bad decision. Anyone that respects the idea of law should find it repulsive. The thought that an employer can dictate personal medical decisions of their employees is reprehensible at minimum.

"Religious Freedom Restoration Acts" are just a fancy way of saying "People and businesses can impose their religious beliefs on other people", something that should NEVER be codified in law in this country.

Is that so? If it's so bad, why did the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act pass both houses of Congress with overwhelming majorities? Point in fact, Ted Kenney was one of the driving forces behind RFRA. And Bill Clinton signed it.

What does that have to do with it? The right of religious liberty has been recognized for over two hundred years in the First Amendment. HHS decided to mandate free birth control insurance coverage following passage of Obamacare in 2010. Naturally, the liberals sided with it over the established principle of religious liberty.

Inthis case it goes against the overriding principle of personal liberty. Yunno, the "life liberty and pursuit of happiness thing. Unwanted pregnancies get in the way of that. Back in the days when that was written, early term abortions were legal.

Can we trust the courts? Do you mean courts like the Supreme Court which came up with two rulings virtually 180 degrees from each other, virtually rewriting intent to justify ACA? You trusted the courts then. Is it only when you disagree with a decision that you can't trust the courts?

Nothing can override personal liberty (SCOTUS made that clear in Roe v. Wade) but the State does have a legitimate interest in protecting woman's health. SCOTUS ruled in favor of personal (religious) liberties in Hobby Lobby.

Hobby Lobby wasn't a constitutional decision regarding basic First Amendment rights.

It was a statutory interpretation of the federal RFRA.

mkt says:

Democrats are also good at taking away rights. That is unless you favor taking away freedom to practice one's religion, individual rights under the second amendment or the 10 Amendment

Bingbong says:

There are no Democrats or liberals seeking to infringe on any individual's rights to practice their religion

Dave says:

Hillary and other liberals came out in opposition to the Hobby lobby decision. Remember that one?

So the issue is whether Democrats are trying to undermine the 1st Amendment. Bingbong says no, and you say yes, Hobby Lobby.

Which obviously is fine with you. A decision that ignores science (IUDs are not abortifacients, nor is emergency contraception) is entirely outside any logic in a secular governing system. Add to that the fact that corporations are NOT people and that decision is 100% wrong. Why anyone would accept it and not work in whatever way possible to reverse and eliminate shows their misogyny, a hate as strong as the Klan is racist.

They ruled that a corporation can hold sway over an individuals right to live as they please, within the confines of their own consciences, NOT the errant belief of an employer. HHS mandated contraceptive coverage as it is basic healthcare for human adults.

One should not be able to lie their way to a judgment, correct? That's exactly what happened here. Such is even noted in the decision itself, that the suit itself is based on a bogus claim. Yet they let this continue? It's clearly about misogyny.
