since the supreme court ruled a 35' buffer zone around abortion clinics is illegal maybe its time to start counseling women going into hobby lobby to shop elsewhere. and do it right in front of their doors.

(12,977 posts)The nearest Hobby Lobby is something like a 45 minute drive away from me, so I'm not in much of a position to act on it -- but boy I would hope that somebody else would take this and run with it.

(21 posts)even supporters might be swayed with info about the fact that purchase of their products support abortion and mandated contraception in China, and that abortion rates go up with limited access to contraception in US, that hormonal meds have many other medical indications other than just contraception, these products were covered by Hobby Lobby prior to the ACA and Hobby Lobby retirement plans invest in Big Pharma that makes these products.

(538 posts)WE need to set a NATIONAL date to boycott and counsel women & educate the public about where Hobby Lobby buys most of its junk inventory from, C-H-I-N-A, which supports & forces ABORTIONS!
