Wondering if board participants fall along predictable lines. The coalition of the religious and business community lined up against everyday people

Just to be sure, @HobbyLobbyStore: Your god is cool with you buying stuff from China and helping fund forced abortions?

Of course there are different points of view. Link.
Of course there is a different point of view, it is a Supreme Court case.
Why not just call it knee jerk persecuted christians vs the 21st century?
Problem is, one Justice already has let the cat publicly out of the bag and said the case is about abortion. Or Gay Rights or "girls just wanna have fun" .............. or something.
"abortifacients" ------------------- really?
I try, but it always proves futile.
Not quite sure how you tried??
You injected the word "abortifacients" to a conversation.
When did that even become a part of our vocabulary.
How does "your shirts" get to throw around such loaded terms?
let alone lay these implications on people that have had this right for years then expect to use is as the basis for a negotiation.
The term implies an everyday woman uses contraception to knowingly kill a human.
Let's not let the details of how it is still up in the air when that fetus does become a human or let alone the details of white men imposing their terms of choice on women . As the chart shows, overwhelming numbers of women voters are not at all in favor of the Hobby Lobby Inquisition.
Honestly -- I do get it.
Wow, that takes stones.

Now, on to the topic.
There is a lot of talk of slippery slopes on this board. Government interferes in HC or unions interfere with businesss blah blah blah.
How's bouts the slippery slopes that tag along should this suit go in Hobby Lobby's favor.
Suppose a company doesn't like the way a woman dress'. Can they deny her her rights? Whixh rights?
Suppose Islamics demand in the name of religion we all stop to pray to Allah x-number times a day and all business stops.
Suppose a company doesn't wish the serve black people based on their color (AA -you listening?) -- my readings tells me this give business unrestricted rights to deny anyone anything, Based on what?
Religion?
Does the Constitution allow you to impose your religion on me? Or the hypothetical Islamists to shut down economy? Or will we just seperate into 2 camps. The "abortifacients" vs those of us that assumed we were past the Salem Witch Hunts

"I belong to no organized political party. I am a registered (D) "
-Will Rogers
paraphrase
57 - do you think men's health premiums should subsidize women's contraceptives?
The parties have switched ideologies -- that Southern Stratagy thingy proposed by Roger Ailes and Kevin Phillips.
I'm sure you've never heard the story of LBJ saying (D) gave up the south the day he signed Civil Rights.
That is the same Roger Ailes that runs herd over Fox News. I'm sure you knew that too
No.
In other words - I shouldn't be penalized for being healthy to subsidize the obese smoker.
I shouldn't be penalized in my health premiums because I'm a man. I don't need as much health care as women do. Why should I be paying for it?
I shouldn't need to subsidize contraception. If a woman wants to have sex - fine. Let her pay for it.
You then do not support the basic premise of insurance ?
Straight up question --
