How do they distigush the Hobby Lobby decision? Just wrong?
In brief, from the court's decision ...
Last year, the Supreme Court decided Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 2751 (2014), in which closely-held for-profit corporations challenged the Mandate under RFRA. The difference between Hobby Lobby and this case is significant and frames the issue here. In Hobby Lobby, the plaintiff for-profit corporations objected on religious grounds to providing contraceptive coverage and could choose only between (1) complying with the ACA by providing the coverage or (2) not complying and paying significant penalties. Id. at 2759-60. In the cases before us, the plaintiff religious non- profit organizations can avail themselves of an accommodation that allows them to opt out of providing contraceptive coverage without penalty. Plaintiffs contend the process to opt out substantially burdens their religious exercise.In other words, unlike in Hobby Lobby, the Plaintiffs do not challenge the general obligation under the ACA to provide contraceptive coverage. They instead challenge the process they must follow to get out of complying with that obligation.
You know, I don’t know.
Someone here posted all of the ‘contraceptives’ that Hobby Lobby DOES provide for their employees.
They just won’t provide ‘The Morning After Pill’ and ‘Plan B’ which was what started the ball rolling.
Ghouls!
