Hobby Lobby

Are you aware that the only contraceptive that Hobby Lobby does not fund is the morning-after pill because basically that is an abortion pill which they are against? They pay for all the other ones, which means that if you are using any of the other contraceptives, you don’t need the morning-after pill.

Everyone is screaming that Hobby Lobby does not pay for contraceptives — that is wrong and the media is not helping that perception. If for some reason you don’t use the paid-for contraceptives, you can buy the morning after pill for as little as $10/month.

Nobody ever paid for any of my contraceptives and I didn’t expect them to do that. So I’m not sure what all the fuss is about -- $10/month maybe? It is also interesting that contraceptives are the only drug under Obamacare that do not require a copay.

However, a bigger issue is the reason the Supreme Court ruled the way they did. Religious freedom was founding principle of our country and during Bill Clinton’s administration, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was passed and signed by Clinton.

However, some people now think that giving free contraceptives overrides this constitutional right. That is a dangerous road to travel. Religious freedom is very important, even to those not associated with religion, as it gives you the right to not associate with any religion. Seems to me this is more important.
