NO NO NO NO

Why would you care if they are closed on Sundays for any reason?
I believe that all stores should be closed on Sundays for day of rest and quality of life, no religious reasons.

I belive they should be open if they want especially since most people who work M-F have only Sat and Sun to shop and do all that other stuff.

All stores should be closed on every day.

Christians claim Sunday, Jews claim Saturday, and Muslims claim Friday.

Thursday honors the Norse god Thor.

The rest of the days also honor Norse gods - so to avoid offending the Norse worshippers among us - all commerce should cease immediately.

No.

Government should have no role in determining when any business is open.

Correct.

It is not a valid role of government to tell businesses when they can be open.

There should be NO laws regulating business hours.

Hobby Lobby isn't dictating anything to employees. One thing abortions are free at Planned Parenthood right now, plus a woman is free to go get birth control anywhere she pleases. Hobby Lobby just doesn't want to pay for abortion and birth control. I really don't see the problem with that. As a woman myself, I can take responsibility for my behavior and go buy generic birth control myself or make my man use a condom. I don't think employers should be forced to pay for things they don't want to pay for. As a consumer, I don't want to be forced to pay for things I don't want. I believe in freedom. Most liberals don't believe in freedom.

Not to mention, employees aren't forced to work for Hobby Lobby.

Contraceptives are a drug and as such should be covered by insurance where other drugs are covered. End of story. We are not going to assign morality to drugs and this is NOT a "christian thing". Not by a long shot.

Insurance companies are private businesses. They shouldn't be forced to offer anything they don't want to.

If you believe in freedom of choice that is. End of story.

And so, it is good.

Should Hobby Lobby and Chik-Fil-A Be Forced To Open Their Stores on Sunday?


No one can be that addicted to crafts or chicken they can't wait until Monday. LOL
