Live blog here of the arguments before SCOTUS in the case where Hobby Lobby insists the company should be able to exempt itself from birth control coverage for its employees. As you can imagine, the implications are enormous. For instance, if you go to work for a Jehovah’s Witness, should they pay for blood transfusions? Do Christian Scientist employers get to exempt their employees from any medical treatment?
Hobby Lobby SCOTUS hearing today
This is what happens when the “pro-choice’ movement stands by and let 6 Roman Catholics be appointed to the Supreme Court. They have grown up hearing about the evils of sex, contraception and abortion from their childhoods. What do they expect to happen?
If abortion is all you fight for, you will lose. The other side fights every step of the way, all the way down to elections for school boards and dog catchers. The state legislatures control redistricting, control the House of Representatives. The down and dirty fighters control the Senate whether they are in the majority OR the minority. The Senate appoints the judges. Then they are in control of everything. The liberals only come out for the fashionable, exciting issues and get their heads beat in. Every step of advancement made during the 1960’s and 70’s has been met with a solid wall of resistance and unrelenting push back until we have retreated to the point we started at the Kennedy administration.
Agree with pragmatic realist, but I think part of the reason liberals get blindsided is that too many of them are icked out by all this sex stuff too. They don’t really have their own thinking straight. It’s more than just boredom with campaigning for the local school board.
About this: “Do Christian Scientist employers get to exempt their employees from any medical treatment?” That’s the obvious conclusion. Except, except that uterus-bearers are just uterus-bearers so it won’t affect real people, so there’s no real problem. Right?
