Hobby Lobby to impose owners religious beliefs on employees
Hobby Lobby, the corporate Christianist outpost of religious intolerence, has declared they will ignore the mandate to provide birth control without a co-pay to their employees in their health care plan. Because their particular sky demon has commaded them to do so, they will impose their religious beliefs upon all their female employees in violation of their employees Constitutionally guaranteed Freedom From Religion.
Craft store chain Hobby Lobby announced on Friday that it will ignore the ruling of U.S. courts and refuse to provide copay-free birth control access to its employees. It will do so despite whatever costs it may incur, even if they are higher than the cost of birth control itself.So in a brilliant business move, they will pay whatever penalty may be assessed, in addition to increased legal expense rather than allow their employees freedom from the cruel dictates of the owners particular sky demon.
Upon learning that Obamacare required employers and insurance companies to provide birth control with no cost to employees, Hobby Lobby sued, saying that, despite the secular nature of the business, the company’s owner’s religious objections should be taken into consideration. When a court denied that line of reasoning, Hobby Lobby took its grievances to the Supreme Court and asked for an injunction. The highest court in the land denied that request, telling Hobby Lobby that it must allow its employees access to birth control as it seeks further litigation.
But Hobby Lobby is saying no.
