Fair point, but another nuance present in this case is religious opposition. Hobby Lobby are Christians and believe that abortion is murder, and that things like Plan B are abortion. We can ridicule this opinion all we want as being absurd, but at the end of the day in the US there's a clear right to freedom of religion. We even exempt Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses (and probably others) from required military service during times of draft and such, so there is definitely precedent of not forcing people to take actions that violate their religious faith.
So, it seems reasonable then that someone could be supportive of Hobby Lobby in this case because they highly value the right to religious freedom, rather than because they "love restricting contraception."
