Hobby Lobby . . . again

Posted: Jul 29, 2014

What is it exactly that HL wants? Claim they cannot cover certain BC because they cause abortions, now they fire a lady because she is pregnant. HL is religiousing itself into a corner from which they will never be able to get out. If real people were not affected by their absurdity, it would be downright funny, but sadly real people are affected. For the sake of the employee I do hope this is an allegation and that she has not been fired for being pregnant, but if it is not, it will be interesting to see how HL spins this.

I just did an internet search on this subject. There are only TWO websites talking about this "story." Perez Hilton and RhRealityCheck. Such upstanding, trustworthy resources, almost as reliable at the National Enquirer. LOL!

Yes, you're correct. - eom

I actually saw this post on a news site and RHRealityCheck seems to be pretty legit. Perez Hilton is an entertainment website, but you probably already know that. And, if I'm not mistaken, and I know I'm not, I believe it was National Enquirer who first brought us the news about John Edwards and his mistress. Anyway, for anyone who is interested, the link contains some info about RHRealityCheck. Thanks though for giving me a heads-up on how to research sources.

Although it's probably not the case, they certainly - make it look like they only want males there.

Supreme Court states corporations cannot be required to provide contraception coverage. YES!!!! The protests outside are all young people and they act like the ruling would deny birth control for everyone. When are these kids going to get an education? They want it, they can pay for it just like we used to have to pay for it. I'm so glad. The government does not have the right to force us to pay for contraceptives, especially those that are no longer able to have kids or e ...

So, this company is owned and operated by people who have certain beliefs regarding the Obamacare mandate regarding abortion - and filed suit to be granted the same exemption that has already been granted to a Catholic organization. Howls of protest. Calls for boycott. Not me! First, I'm not stupid enough to step on my own face if I can help it. HL has some great stuff that I can't find elsewhere, or for the price. Second, I'm not stupid enough to ...

The Company's Retirement Plan Invests in Contraception Manufacturers When Hobby Lobby filed its case against Obamacare's contraception mandate, its retirement plan had more than $73 million invested in funds with stakes in contraception makers. By Molly Redden Tue Apr. 1, 2014 3:00 AM PDT When Obamacare compelled businesses to include emergency contraception in employee health care plans, Hobby Lobby, a national chain of craft stores, fought the law all the way to the Supreme Cou ...

Have you noticed when you are in a Hobby Lobby store (for those who have actually spent time in one), they play Christian music over their music system? I find it very soothing and often enjoy it so much that I have bought several of the CDs they are playing. This is still a free country - just as we are free to get out of transcription and find another line of work, so the employee of Hobby Lobby is free to find another craft store or another line of work. This is a free count ...

I think to a lot of people, the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case is largely about an overhaul of corporations' rights to control employees, basically a first step to more control over their lives. Sure, it's about the birth control issue, but the "big picture" about the decision is this opening of the door to who knows what is next from big business? The same people who are saying they don't want government to come between people and their doctor s ...

I read the post below about the lady whose family cook book is getting published, and also once in a while see someone posting their stuff on Esty. That's amazing. I was wondering if anyone has taken a hobby and turned it into a lucrative side job? I am barely making ends meet! As soon as I get my check it's gone. Thank goodness for Angelfood ministries! I can do bead work, crochet, knit and sew. I can draw and know how to can fruits, but there just isn& ...

Some time ago I asked about making jewelry and am going to try to do learn to do that when our community ed classes start up again in the fall. In the meantime, I have a funny question. (Maybe I am going into second childhood.) Do any of you draw or paint? I love to sketch and I also like the Dover coloring books, which are quite detailed and good for adults. Does anyone else on here like to draw/color? ...

Every senator who accepted money from the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IPAC) should be impeached and removed from office — or at very least, soundly defeated the next time he or she comes up for reelection. But the Enemedia, true to form, will cover for them and do everything it can to keep them on the government payroll. One of the many unanswered questions about P5+1 agreement with Iran is why so many Congressional Democrats are rallying behind the President on this issue ...
