So you would cover vegetarians but not cover someone that eats fish, by bet is that case you would lose, but you can drop you're insurance and put them on an exchange which was what hobby lobby was going to do if they lost
I'm not debating whether or not the outcome would be favorable if Hobby Lobby lost. I'm arguing the principle that religion should not play a role in governing employees' health case insurance.
Indeed, they would be justified in quitting, but why should I have the right to impose my religious views on my employees from the start?
I agree. However, if my employer-provided insurance proved to be cheaper and/or more comprehensive, I'd still be in a disadvantaged position.
Because the right to the abortion pill is not a constitution right, freedom of religion is a right, the desire of an employee to have abortion pills does not trump the rights of the owner of a private company
That's the great thing about American. I'm sure you would have to prove that all heart problems are blamed on meat, how about the vegetarian that has heart problems would your Hindi insurance deny them?
Nope you wouldn't have to prove it; SCOTUS has said its enough for you to sincerely believe it.

Abortion pills are,not a constitutional right ,religion is
From my persective, religious views are being imposed in the form of denying coverage. For example, if I was a Hindu owner of a private business, and I wanted to deny coverage for cardiovascular medication because I saw a correlation between eating meat and heart disease, would I be justified in doing so?
Its your business. Remember....a business doesn't have to offer you squat if they don't want to. Is that better?
The hard facts are we are going to be covering less of many things people want covered. Its inevitable.
I support it because of the constitutional reasons . If you so.ey ow a company the government should not make you buy something for someone else that is against their religion
Considering that freedom of religion is a pillar of our constitution (i.e., 1st amendment), I ought to respect my employer's religious views, but why should said employer, public or private, have a say-so when it comes to my personal life. The fact that I most likely pay into the policy as well should give me, the employee, the right to choose, no?
Also, contraceptive coverage is usually provided at little to no cost by insurance companies, for it is far less risky to prevent a pregnancy than risk complications that may occur during birth.
