Correct me if I am wrong but Obamacare is only in the United States. How does that effect India, China, Indonesia, Africa, etc? The world's population continues to grow, the so-called New World Order has failed in my opinion if their goal was to depopulate the planet.
and their reproductive rights.

So upholding the law is a gender issue? The decision was the correct one if you consider the job of SCOTUS as being weighing the law against the constitution and the dissenting justices are the ones who failed in that job but attempt to use the bench for activism, not the proper role as delineated in the constitution.
This ruling wasn't based on the Constitution. Where in the Constitution does it claim that "We The People" includes for profit corporations?
No this ruling was based on the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act, which ironically outlines when it is appropriate for the government to burden religious rights. The ruling was also based on the bias presupposition that corporations have human rights, proclaimed by the Robert's Court in 2010, but only to the degree that effects a woman's access to FDA approved birth control, in this most recent case.
Equal protection? Not here. Clearly this case isn't based on the Constitution.
How is having 14 out of 20 mandated types of birth control affecting anyone's reproductive rights? How is not forcing someone to pay for something you want affect your rights in any way?
How is limiting the number of bullets contained in a magazine in any way limiting the right to bare arms? Same argument, in my opinion. It's the principle, not the number of contraception methods available. It's the fact that the Supreme Court has gone rogue and is not protecting the Constitution.

IMO religion is the easiest and most affective form of mind control.
If I was power hungry, I'd use it. It's all about the power and control IMO.
How many known atheists are there in Congress? None. How many suspected closeted atheists are there in Congress? About 20. It's easier to come out of the gay closet.
Did you know that, at least some, of the original Southern Baptist were descendants of the Puritans? Religious freedom my ass. They were all about forcing their British government into a theocracy.
This SC decision is just damn scary. And wrong in so many ways.
How is letting a private entity decide for itself the compensation package both "forcing a theocracy" or "wrong in so many ways?"
I will side with the women SC justices.
Not the 5 old Catholic males making a religious bias decision that only affects women and their reproductive rights.

And getting back to the question you dodged, how is letting a private entity determine their compensation package "forcing a theocracy?"
You mean tweaking the law, finding the loophole, to make a historically bad and wrong decision based on the personal belief and control agenda of 5 old fart male Right Wing Catholic judges.
These 5 old men made a power judgement against women's health and reproductive choices. This will backfire on them. They have damaged the credibility of the highest court in a secular government.
Is Hobby a Lobby going to stop buying supplies from China? A country that sometimes forces abortion? Of course not. That would affect their business profit.
Moreover, this case is a perversion of religious freedom. Our values of religious freedom and tolerance were meant to protect individuals in our nation from the tyranny of government and business. Recall that in the earliest days of American history, it was not only the King of England but the powerful East India Company out from under the mutual thumb of which American colonists were trying to crawl. Moreover, as I have written previously, freedom of religion explicitly includes not only the freedom to practice one's religion but to be free from the imposition of someone else's religion. The owners of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood cannot be allowed to impose their religious beliefs on their employees. www.thedailybeast.com...

I never saw Christ advocate for the government to force redistribution of wealth nor did he advocate a person taking from one person to give to another.
He advocated individual giving and voluntary charity, both at odds with socialism and communism.

...the literally satanic THEOCRACY that the globalists are probably 80-90% successful already toward establishing on the overt world stage. It wouldn't take more than a few months to a few years of some VERY UNPRECEDENTED dramatic events to make it a done deal.

Socialism doesn't redistribute wealth, it eliminates it. Money is rendered useless, so nothing is being taken from you and given to someone else. No contradiction there.

Socialism doesn't eliminate individual giving and voluntary charity, it just insures that those things aren't necessary for survival. Not everyone can do for themselves. So again, no contradiction.
And besides all that, socialism in one form or another is inevitable. That is unless you're willing to stop the advancement of technology and efficiency right now. How do you plan to deal with machines putting us all out of work? That time is fast approaching you know.

To "eliminate" wealth, a socialist has to take from one to give to another. If a guy is a good gardener and his neighbor is not, he will have more "wealth" in terms of vegetables or whatever he grows. To make things fair, a socialist ahs to take some from the efficient farmer and give it to the other. Theft is an integral part of socialism absent star trek replicators

Where did I say the population
IS CURRENTLY declining?
I've merely been contending that a major DEPOPULATION plan is in force and making progress toward forcing the global population down to 200-500 million.
REMEMBER, GROUP . . . THIS IS ABOUT THE GLOBALIST OLIGARCHY'S TYRANNICAL ONE WORLD RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT BEING FAR WORSE
THAN
THE WORST THAT BUZZY COULD IMAGINE FROM THE "Christian Right" "Dominionists."
