So if there are no black people living in my neighborhood and they try to move in to my neighborhood, I should be allowed to tell them to live elsewhere if I don't want them here? Why should they live in a neighborhood where people don't want them? We neighborhood has rules. If they don't like them, they should leave and live somewhere else. We shouldn't have to change just because someone doesn't like it. They can just leave and never turn back.



Obviously this can't happen because minority races are a protected class. So are women. What the Court did was say that Christians are more of a protected class than women, which goes against almost 100 years of legal precedents. Funny I don't hear any outcry from the Right about "activist judges" when the rulings are favorable to them.

You OWN your neighborhood?



Now, your house, then yes you can tell whomever you want to leave and I don't believe you should have to give a reason for it. Again, same for a business.

As an employee you agree to their terms of what is considered acceptable work performance and behavior, not their religious beliefs. As an employee, if you try to push your religious beliefs on others guess what, you get FIRED.



Corporations and the Christian group was ruled a more protected class than women. We should all be going "WTF!?" and asking ourselves how a corporation is considered person enough to have its religious freedom protected by the constitution at the expense of actual people.



BTW, Hobby Lobby will still be covering vasectomies, because it is 100% okay for a male to make choices about his body without anyone batting a f*cking eyelash.

I don't think a business owns the insurance companies that are offering insurance to the employees though either.

My neighborhood has an association with rules the residents have to follow. If you don't like them, you don't get to not follow them, so in a way, yes, I own my neighborhood by paying dues and voting on the rules.

But you also have an option to not live there.

JonGTR

Exactly my point.



And when everyone leaves the neighborhood due to unfair rules, the HOA goes into debt and dissolves. Same thing applies to the company when it's workers leave and people no longer shop there.

dont be talkin bad about my jesuschicken....dat spicy chicken deluxe is amazing.



I dont care if the KKK and al sharpton combined forces and now own chic-fil-a. I dont go there for their personal beliefs, I go there for some goddam chicken.



hobby lobby? who gives a goddam F*CK seriously, I'm surprised they still exist. Probably were teeter totterying on bankruptcy and is using this to build "support" from old whiteys who are all dried up and shriveled up inside anyways(there true demographic...have you been to one lately?)



now if you excuse me, the Fourth of July is coming up soon and I'm going to sit down, pour a cup of espresso, and open up a new copy of the bible, or as it should be called, The REAL Constitution.

The fact that employees have the option to quit if they don't like the outcome is not the point, and if you think that it is, you need to go back and read the constitution again.



Of course they can quit if they don't like it, but that doesn't change the fact that somehow it happened in the first place.



A corporation as a whole shouldn't have a unified set of religious beliefs that give it the ability to allow/deny things like insurance coverage, benefits, or anything else. Why? Because it is corporation. It's not one person with the right to religious freedom protected by the constitution, it's a company imposing it's religious beliefs on others, which could very well be infringing on their religious freedom, which is unconstitutional.



Moreso, there is the hypocrisy of them still covering vasectomies and viagra, which makes this a women's rights issue as well.



Birth control, plan b, abortion, and insurance coverage are issues that are in the legislature for women consistently but instead of standing up and saying it's none of the government's damn business you think it's just ok to say, "if you don't like what they are doing then just leave." I honestly hope you all know how ignorant you sound.



And before you all just call me a crazy feminist who wants her insurance to cover to birth control... I have an IUD which covers me until 2020 and I paid for it out of pocket. Birth control pills aren't always just for contraceptive purposes and have a lot of other health benefits. It's like telling someone you won't cover their anti-depressants because your religious beliefs tell you that depression is all in your head.
