The SCOTUS opinion is a narrow decision affecting privately-held corporations being forced to pay for employees’ abortificients. It does not protect publicly-held corporations, nor corporations whose religious beliefs oppose hiring open homosexuals.

And Traitorobama could well order his HHS gestapo to directly fund abortificients to those employees whose companies do not provide them.

Unlike the lib justices, the majority issued an opinion that is no broader than the issues before the court. It did not decide one way or the other whether the ruling applies to public corporations because no public corporation was a party to the lawsuit. The logical extension of the Hobby Lobby opinion is not whether the ruling applies to publically- traded corporations, but whether it allows a private business to decline work because of deeply held religious beliefs -- such as refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay marriage.
