Fine. That's your point. And I'll grant you that, for some of them anyway, that's true. But that's not what the Hobby Lobby case is about.
And that's why....
Exactly. It's politically important that the Democrats steer people from thinking about the actual ideological issues at the heart of this case.
the ideological issue on this case is clear.
Using religion to rationalize misogyny.
You have to engage in some hefty mental gymnastics to find anti- contraception or anti-abortion verses in the bible.
So are we going to have a rule now that you don't have to follow laws you don't like if you can prove they "offend" your religion?
Well, yeah... that's the horseshit they (and apparently, you) are selling. But no, it's got nothing to do with it. The Hobby Lobby case is about how much power the government has to dictate our economic decisions. In this case, an employers decision as to how to compensate their employees. It's unfortunate that it's only addressing the isolated case of religious objections, and even more unfortunate that they chose to resolve it by extending special privileges, rather than protecting universal rights.
The real problem here is the expansive interpretation of the commerce clause. We really blew it there. General freedom can't exist without economic freedom.
