So really what you're saying is the owner(s) of the company dictate what their employee's have access to on their medical package, and they can legally dictate that decision based on their religious beliefs?

It's a political decision based SOLELY on political ideology from the one Branch of Government that was supposed to be continually above party.
Remember you're crowing over this, Christians, when Muslim companies require you to get on your knees and pray five times per day toward Mecca or keep you from bringing a ham sandwich to work, or the Chinese Taoists, Buddhists or Confucianists choose to require you to work on Sundays, Easters and Christmases as if they're any other day.
Don't even get me started on what the Wiccans and Satanists might require of their workers, LOL.
Here's to the end of reason and rationality in the American Legal System.
No one is forced to work for anyone they don't want to. Slavery was abolished a long time ago.
You don't like what your employer requires of you:
skimpy clothes at Hooters
cleaning toilets
working awful hours
anything - QUIT
you have that right in the US
What you are saying is a non-issue since everyone is free to quit a job if the employer wants them to do something onerous to them. If we still had slavery then it would be an issue, but we don't.
And if you happen to be 42(20 years in with this company) with limited options in today's market? That seems like it would be a "suck it up buttercup" thing. Individuals don't often have the resources to make a SC challenge.

I will ask again.
Has Hobby Lobby stopped ANYONE from purchasing this item?
It has legally disallowed them from using the company medical package for attaining them, how answer this:
How is allowing access to the morning after pill discriminating against religious beliefs? Stop avoiding the question.
I'm pretty sure the employees at hobby lobby are thankful they are offered some type of insurance.
Only "entitled" people cry for more.
Right, because American workers should take what they get and shut up about it?
When did it become "entitlement' to decide how to spend your own money?
You know what's the best part of living in America?
We have a choice to find employment wherever we want to.

I already showed that in a previous post!
It's absolutely free from Family Planning for those whom make under 240% of the poverty rate!
Amazing isn't it! These poor women are being so abused by an Evil Christian company! pffffft

It's a non-issue really. Just measuring each others "members" over a religious point of view. I bet the world is laughing their asses off about this.
If you spent 20 years working for a company and you strongly disagreed with their core beliefs, that is your choice.
Working in retail is just that working, not being a slave to anyone. Don't like your employers beliefs, quit, if you stay for 20 years you know what they believe and have sucked it up for 20 years, your own fault.

Why does there have to a master at all? Some people want (not as many as you seem to think) government to have authority over people. Others (You guys insist on calling your selves Libertarians even though the word traditionally meant Socialist) want private companies to have authority over people. Someone complaining about either doesn't necessarily favor the other.
You want to trade one master for another. I want freedom from both.
Bull.
You argue for an authoritarian-entitlement state!

This limits government mandates.
This limits what a government can mandate.
I'll count this as a win.

Totally disagree with this ruling. Corporations are people in this age, however.
It's interesting to see all who support that notion in this case. I wonder if you all support the Citizens United ruling.
