A letter from the CEO of Hobby Lobby

This to infinity. It's his business, he can run it how he pleases as long as it isn't for illegal purposes.

Can't businesses choose to provide health care or not anyways? Or is that for part time only?

[Wynd_Fox]

I think that's only part time.

No, I'm pretty sure that's why Hostess collapsed.

[DrenDran]

Businesses need far more control over themselves.

Some CEO doesn't want to provide contraceptives and contraceptive drugs to his employees?

What a richard.

[Trogtor]

Religion is handicapped and only causing a stuffload of stuff, nothing positive...

i hope you get banned for trying to start a flame

Its like if a tofu store was forced to sell meat.

It's just not right because it's against their will.

To provide health care is fine, but they should never be forced to provide very controversial things like birth control. There are large groups of people that don't agree with birth control, and to make businesses required to give it away for free is stupid.

[Wynd_Fox]

I disagree. It's part of their health insurance, and that's how it should be. The people should get to decide whether they want to use it or not.

violate the first amendment so people can get something that costs less than one hour's wage? of course

That's not really very similar. The situation is more like, say, a chiropractic clinic being required to give their employees actual medical insurance.

Paying my employees minimum wage might be against my will, as I may want to pay them even less. Does that mean it's not right to be required to pay employees a minimum value, because it's against my will? What is seen as just does not depend on what the sole contributor of contraceptive coverage is. Thinking like that is pretty dangerous.

The company is not a religious organization and its available positions are not religious. It isn't an entity that can just choose what to pay for. The CEO should man-up his pusillanimous individual belief that life begins at contraception and that providing help to women is immoral.

So from what I understand, they can either provide the evil drug, or pay a fine?
Well if you're that opposed to satan in pill-form and you care more about people than money then why do you care about some measly fine? Just suck it up and pay it.

I really don't think paying a fine is an option for anyone, but it's only richards who would end up paying a fine for ignoring this law change anyway.

oh well, thats just what I gathered from

If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.

then again that is a pretty damn huge fine
