CNN’s Costello: Does SCOTUS Ruling Allow ‘Religion to Make Decisions Over Science?’
Newsbusters.org ^ | June 30, 2014 | Jackie Seal

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby and that company's argument for religious freedom. CNN’s Carol Costello wondered if the decision will now allow for “religion to make decisions over science.”

Joined by a panel of several guests to discuss the coming ruling on CNN Newsroom, host Carol Costello was more concerned with the impact the Supreme Court ruling would have on science rather than constitutionality.

"Science" is being used as a code-word for conception, i.e., when does life begin.

The absolute hypocrisy and duplicity of the American statist left defies logical explanation!

Putting aside for the moment that “statist left” and “logical” should NEVER APPEAR in the same rant, the just announced Hobby Lobby decision by the Supremes displayed it for all to see. All, that is, except the looney 47% who are receiving all the “free” chit and other goodies dispensed by the left to keep them voting for Democrat hacks who promise more and more of the free chit.

At the time the left rammed through the (Un)Affordable Care Act, there were loud protests from the few million or so sane citizens still living here that it would interpose fedzilla into the formerly sacred relationship between patient and doctor. The equally looney “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it” left quickly waved a collective imperious hand and uttered a royal “Tsk, tsk”, dismissed the objectors and returned to destroying the fabric of the country.

Comes now the favorable Hobby Lobby decision and comes now two pro-abortion radical feminazis to – where else – MSNBC to decry and lament over the decision. One was Rep. Nita Lowey from NYC (aka Gomorrah on the Hudson) and another woman representing one of the several Margaret Sanger eugenics inspired pro-abortion groups still murdering babies in the former safety of their mothers’ wombs.

Their first and only opposition argument? Though I suspect you have figured this out, better brace yourself: “It would interfere with the sanctity of the relationship between a woman and her doctor.”

And before you hit the reply button with “What about the hypocrisy of the pro-life right in celebrating Hobby Lobby?”

You may have overlooked the third and silent party in the discussion: The unborn baby!

The pro-aborts maintain that a fetus is NOT a human being either until birth or the third trimester. (I’ll believe that when a human female delivers a chicken or a cow.) And a number of courts here and in other nations regularly rule in support of that erroneous notion.

And while we’re discussing “hypocrisy”, can you explain this to me? How is it that those same courts correctly rule in cases involving intentional or accidental serious injury to or death of a pregnant woman that if her unborn baby is injured or dies, her baby constitutes a SECOND victim of the trauma or crime and the jury/judge nearly always factors that into the civil judgment or criminal sentence?

That concept comes down to us from the over 2,000 year old law found in the Bible.

And here’s one final piece of law from that Good Book: “A double-minded man (or woman) is UNSTABLE in ALL his (or her) ways”.

What does that say about 21st century America?

Just sayin’

Does this mean that bakers can no longer be forced to create wedding cakes for gay weddings?

Great point! Common sense should deem so, but there are 4 libs on the court.

I think that the baker that is being forced to bake cakes for a gay wedding and go to re-education camp is a sole proprietor. So it would seem that the same conclusion should be upheld, even more so.

Nobody who opposes this ruling can say anything, without flat making stuff up.

NAZI eugenics were all about “the science”.

Leftists just want to outsource the work.

Should we blindly follow science?

Science has to do with facts. It is not a blindly followed matter.

If the people at Hobby Lobby were Muslims, the idiots at CNN would be cheering the decision.

So you have to have a room temperature IQ to host a TV show now?

After listening to her, albeit briefly, I think you are correct.

Well, I hear ya, but this wasn’t an abortion case.

And this is where the meme is now headed. It will ratchet up anti-christian sentiment and action. And “active” Christians are a distinct minority. Again, I don’t care if I am the lone Conservative on this. This decision is going to backfire in time.

Not to mention that the ruling opens the door for the government to pay for the coverage so it will be MORE expansive at taxpayer’s expense. And, no, Congress will not need to approve that.

Be careful what you wish for ...

I read her as claiming that science doesn't support the abortifacient potential of those contraceptives. Where she gets this claim, I have no idea.

Carol will always have a job at MSNBC if she wants.

Who doesn't like a lot of liberal opinion with your little bit of news? /s

The Constitution forbids Congress from lessening freedom of religion; it says nothing about science.

Science tells us what we can do - Religion tells us what we should do.

Here’s an idea to solve the contraception dispute: consider the use of means to induce or prevent preganacy to be non-medical. Medical procedures are to solve health problems. Deciding on whether to become pregnant is not a health issue except in cases where a preganacy would pose a health problem to the mommy.
