If you know anybody who shops there, remind them how much they hate Women

I told them I would never set foot into their store again beause of their refusal to let their employees make the decision on their own health care. They responded to me that they were only against "some forms of birth control". I responded that they were free to try to convince their employees to believe as they do, but there should never be a law to give the employer the authority to do that.

I have stuck with my decision. I shop at JoAnn, Michael's, and several online stores, but I will NEVER set foot into a HobbyLobby again.

That's too much power for an employer to have over an employee.

I hope it helps.

but more importantly, I hope people remember this and vote.


<VOTE!!

This is Holly Hobbie




This is about Holly Hobbie

There is, as far as I know, no connection between Holly Hobbie and Hobby Lobby.

I apologize. My right hand is in a cast so I am typing with one finger on my left hand. So sorry that I offended you.

you aren't going to put them out of business. There are enough right wing loonies to keep them in business, just ask Chik-Fil-Et or whatever it's called...

Besides, the problem isn't really Hobby Lobby, they have the right to be fools, the problem is the Supreme Court, allowing them to force their foolishness on others.

but the Supreme Court is forcing their employees to subscribe to a specific religion. And I do have to live here.

Because if you can't afford contraception now, you will be able to when you don't have a job....

If the employee is unhappy with the coverage provided by the employer, could they not drop the employer coverage and purchase from the exchange where all forms of birth control are covered?

I am not saying the ruling is correct by an means, but there are options for coverage.

If your employer offers a plan then you are not eligible for the exchange.

hobby lobby asked the question and the court gave them permission.

It is the best place to go if you need Christian-themed trinkets to decorate your house with. I went in one of those places last year to kill time while waiting for some film to be developed at the drugstore across the street...rough estimate, 60 percent of their merchandise was Christian-themed, 25 percent was home decor stuff that wasn't religious in nature (lots of glass - kinda like an Import Market with no incense), 15 percent was actual hobby/craft stuff.

I glanced in a few people's carts. They ALL had Christian stuff in them.

But what this ruling does is open the door for other companies to "assert their religious freedom."

Keep an eye out for those companies, and boycott them as soon as they become known.

I suspect that a large portion of their customer base will stay with them, but if enough people boycott, I do think they will feel the pain.

If they claim the reduction in business is "persecution," it's very likely Christians who currently shop at other craft stores (like Michaels, A.C. Moore or Jo-Ann Fabrics) who are able to move their business to Hobby Lobby will do so.

I know I'm not shopping there again, I really can't control what anyone else does.

began, and I never will again. I bought a few art supplies from them years ago, as well as a shoji screen and wicker baker's rack (on sale) for my office. I feel like burning that shit now, and I'm ashamed I ever gave them a nickel's worth of business. Early in the coverage of this, I learned about their financial support of Liberty U. and other rotten causes. I am going to send them an e-mail to let them know how much I despise them and their "closely held family business." This gives new meaning to the phrase "caveat emptor."

a bunch of old church ladies

there are 3 new stores "opening soon" in the los angeles area. they appear to be expanding.

I have never and will never go there.

I'll picket one of them for an hour or two

Though that would take away the time and energy from the campaign which we need every hour and every minute of every day along with every dollar we can raise to try to take back the House and keep the Senate.

never will

so they will understand all of the nuances of this ruling.

For one, they have taken it on themselves to decide which of our religious beliefs are sincere beliefs. For any person with religious convictions, this is quite concerning. It's an offense against anyone's religious beliefs.
