Hobby Lobby operates in 26 states where the state says insurers must provide coverage for contraception. Most of these states offer a religious exemption. I don't know if HL applied for an exemption.
The following states contain Hobby Lobby stores and offer no religious exemption.
Georgia, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin
Why is Hobby Lobby complying in these states but fighting the ACA?
The morning after pill prevents fertilization. It doesn't destroy a fertilized embryo.
BTW: Viagra, pacemakers, stents, and vaccines aren't part of Mother Nature's design either.
Hobby Lobby is objecting to the portions of Obamacare that deal with Plan B and Ella.
Quote:
The FDA-approved government birth control guide clearly states that these two drugs, the morning-after pill and the week-after pill, may prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the womb, thus aborting the fertilized egg.
Hobby Lobby, as you may know, is facing fines of $1.3MM per day for refusing to comply with the HHS death-drug mandate. The sheer malice of the Obama administration is astounding. Please read this open letter from David Green, Hobby Lobby's founder and CEO, which you are unlikely to see printed in mainstream news sources:
"Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it’s the same for everybody. But that’s not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won’t exempt them for reasons of religious belief."
So let him pay the fines. $1.3 million a day is chump change to a big company like that. They probably make that much in 15 minutes.
I hope Obama makes an example of these religious fanatics and puts their sorry asses out of business. Now they are comparing this to the Holocaust? How nice of them!
Exactly! They make it by taking advantage of the slave labor in China, a country with mandated abortions.
I guess their "Christianity" doesn't extend to women in China!
