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.

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.

The FACTS are the best response to their outright lies. Jane Crow laws to discriminate against women need to be fought with the facts.

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!

And screaming. Imagine people needing escorts to go to Hobby Lobby. That would be a sight. As long as no HL employees are gunned down while attending church and the stores are not torched. I am thinking ahead to the rethug response to things that don't happen.

Most HLs are in strip malls, on private property.

and boycotts can work. look at the darden restaurants like red lobster which are struggling now. some might say their food isnt' that great but they have been in business for years and it wasn't until their anti ACA bs where they started to lose business.

I'm not talking destruction of any kind -- just inconvenience. I'd wear a garish anti-HL t-shirt or rainbow t-shirt. Evolve Fish also sells hard-to-remove stickers with various messages. Just sayin'.

That is not cool. I'm all for protesting- I mentioned it earlier today even, but that's too far.

I also read your sentence that said "hard to remove stickers".

Hard to remove from what?
