The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments last week in the Hobby Lobby case to decide whether a business that provides health-care insurance to its employees can be forced to include abortifacients in its coverage. Hobby Lobby filed a lawsuit against the federal government over the Obamacare mandate of providing abortifacients.
Hobby Lobby is a family-owned arts and crafts store run by Christians based out of Oklahoma. The family has devoted itself to Christian mission work and Christian music is played over the loudspeakers in its stores. The owners are not Catholic and arent even objecting to providing contraceptives it is solely the abortifacients that they have a problem providing believing that a fertilized embryo is a human life that must be protected. Conestoga Wood Specialties also owned by Christians is part of the lawsuit.
There is no legitimate concern and its frankly a waste of taxpayers money that this has to go to court. In todays Internet society any woman can purchase dirt-cheap abortifacients online without a prescription or from Planned Parenthood and other womens clinics for free or low cost. They can also take an increased dosage of contraceptives to act as an abortifacient since that is all abortifacients are. There is zero reason to force an employer to include abortifacients in coverage. Most health insurance through an employer includes a co-pay and since abortifacients have been made so commonplace women are probably better off finding it discounted somewhere else. Employees of Hobby Lobby also have the option to choose Obamacare instead of their employers health insurance.
