They want to eliminate birth control and they also wish to prevent abortions, seems that those two solutions are in direct conflict.

Perhaps you should try to become informed about the issue before you spout off your nonsense. Hobby Lobby was and is willing to pay for 16 of the 20 forms of birth control that are mandated by HHS. The 4 they are not willing to pay for work by preventing the embryo from being implanted in the uterus, which in their view is no different than abortion.

So tell us again how this is "wanting to eliminate birth control?"

No one is denying birth control. Women will just have to pay for it themselves.
Or let the government pay for their "free" birth control.

Before Obamacare women had to pay it themselves.

So this is not some new financial burden on women.

Only a few companies can take advantage of this bad ruling. But hey, as long as women can be denied healthcare needs, why should people care.

Good that only a limited number of companies can abuse this ruling.

Also, lost the 'mandatory' union dues ruling.

Seems the Supremes are correcting Obama's and fascist Dems' faults!

And by the same token, I have implored my wife to avoid the place since this lawsuit was filed. She largely agrees with me.

You know you can get condoms for free if you wanted to, right?

Also, too, it really shouldn't be my employer's business what prescription medication I need. But that horse is so dead, so we shant beat it.

People are free to make choices. Wouldn't it be nice if people paid for those choices.

Pay to play. No one rides for free.

No one is being denied health care.

These women can just pay for their birth control with their own money..just like they did before Obamacare got signed.

Given his distaste for those lusting after wealth I'm sure Jesus would be proud.

Hobby Lobby covers birth control, they objected to covering abortifacients.

We could use the money Obama wants to send to Syria.
