>"The exemption sought by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga would...deny legions of women who do not hold their employers’ beliefs access to contraceptive coverage."
>"Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community."
>"Any decision to use contraceptives made by a woman covered under Hobby Lobby’s or Conestoga’s plan will not be propelled by the Government, it will be the woman’s autonomous choice, informed by the physician she consults."
>"It bears note in this regard that the cost of an IUD is nearly equivalent to a month’s full-time pay for workers earning the minimum wage."
>"Would the exemption...extend to employers with religiously grounded objections to blood transfusions (Jehovah’s Witnesses); antidepressants (Scientologists); medications derived from pigs, including anesthesia, intravenous fluids, and pills coated with gelatin (certain Muslims, Jews, and Hindus); and vaccinations[?]...Not much help there for the lower courts bound by today’s decision."
>"Approving some religious claims while deeming others unworthy of accommodation could be 'perceived as favoring one religion over another,' the very 'risk the [Constitution's] Establishment Clause was designed to preclude."
>"The court, I fear, has ventured into a minefield."

Lol! Think I’ll print our Ginsburg’s great “dissent” that all the liberals are drying their tears on this afternoon and use if for toilet paper. Because since she was in the minority, that is all her dissent is worth legally....
Mother Jones is a witch!
Hilarious! You are so right.
Love the smell of liberal angst.

She is right about the minefield and I agree with you, I hope it blows up completely!
Just remember: All these comments were about NOT helping women kill their babies. Think about that.
Read some of the comments over there.
Those people are nucking futz.
Gasp! You mean someone would have to pay their own money for their own optional birth control?
She is too old and senile to write anything in “her” opinion. It was written by the carefully selected left wing clerks that are the de facto justice.

OTOH. Keeping your knees together - FREE!
Yeah, it was called Roe v. Wade.
“deny...access to contraceptive coverage”
Ignorant or lying?
Then go down to the clinic and get your broke ass some free condoms - that's what Hillary did when she was between jobs.
I bet an abortion costs even more. So why isn't Obamacare forcing corporations to cover abortions?
God, could you please let her retire in February 2017?
