Because the Christian-owned company maintains that the mandate "violates the religious beliefs for their owners," it's evident that Hobby Lobby must think "religious liberty" is defined in a way other than how it is being defined by liberals at this time.
Ignorant nonsense.
Religious liberty is defined by the Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court. It has nothing to do with ‘liberals.’
The First Amendment prohibits the government from conjoining church and state, it prohibits government from attempting to promote or advance religion, or to enact measures designed to favor one religion over another, or manifest an excessive entanglement with religious dogma.
The First Amendment also prohibits the state from placing restrictions on religious practice, or disallowing given religious expression absent a compelling interest.
The ACAÂ’s requirement that employers provide comprehensive health insurance coverage, including contraceptive therapy, in no way violates the religious tenets or practices of employers.
In the case of Hobby Lobby, the owners are not compelled themselves by the state to use birth control, hence there is no violation of any religious doctrine. What Hobby LobbyÂ’s employees decide to do with their health insurance is a private matter between the employee and the insurer, itÂ’s of no concern of the employer.
And the ACAÂ’s health insurance provisions comport with Commerce Clause jurisprudence where Congress is authorized to regulate appropriate aspects of the workplace, such as ensuring fair hiring practices, a safe workplace, and a uniform compensation policy including wage and health insurance compensation.
This issue is about politics only, not ‘religious liberty,’ it’s about the continued partisan opposition to the ACA only because the measure was signed into law by a democratic president.
