> who said religious beliefs barred them from paying for certain kinds of contraception in their employees health care And who actually offered that contraception as part of their health care for decades, no problem, until obamacare mandated it, at which point they suddenly realized they had a deep-seated religious conviction against it.

Do you have a source for this one? I'd haven't heard this before.

    Your "article" says they were offering it unknowingly. This does not support OP's implication that they dropped it to protest Obamacare.

      No, the article says they claimed they were offering it unknowingly. Here are the facts: > In 2012, a lawyer for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a nonprofit Washington law firm, called Hobby Lobby's general counsel to inform him of the health law's contraception requirement and to ask whether the company wanted to file a suit. > Mr. Green says he was shocked to discover Hobby Lobby was in fact offering in its insurance plan some of the emergency contraceptives at issue. He called for the insurer to revoke that coverage and signed onto the lawsuit. He only dropped the coverage subsequent to being approached by a lawyer from a conservative group shopping for people to use to sue the government. Readers will draw their own conclusions but to me that does support the implication.
