Federal Judge: Hobby Lobby Must Offer Morning-After Pill
A federal judge Monday rejected Hobby Lobby Stores Inc.’s request to block part of the federal health care overhaul that requires the arts and craft supply company to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after and week-after birth control pills.
In a 28-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton denied a request by Hobby Lobby to prevent the government from enforcing portions of the health care law mandating insurance coverage for contraceptives the company’s Christian owners consider objectionable.
The Oklahoma City-based company and a sister company, Mardel Inc., sued the government in September, claiming the mandate violates the owners’ religious beliefs. The owners contend the morning-after and week-after birth control pills are tantamount to abortion because they can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in a woman’s womb. They also object to providing coverage for certain kinds...

True Calvinists don't preach against anything, because they believe that everything that ever happened or happens is ordained by God, and thus if they were to preach against any such thing they would be preaching against God's will. So don't be against God, keep your mouth shut, it was all ordained according to the Calvinist blasphemy.

Since this is not the gospel, [Christian] David Green should roll over on this issue and allow the curtains to fall on freedom? Following that, SA's freedom could fold.

By their predictions (extrapolating baby-boom birthrates) the USA population should've been 800-900 million people today. Instead we're having to "import" people just to maintain a reasonably youthful population. Proverbs 14:28

Perhaps radio silence perpetuates this crisis.

Until Christians go cold turkey from ALL that PP has to offer, the Hobby Lobbies of the world will find themselves with almost no empathy from our evangelical churches and leaders.

wow, do I not have answers for any of this but to walk through these times, and those who stand firm in Christ will be persecuted.
I've known pharmacist (protestant) who moved jobs because he knew the birth control pill is an abortifacient (which is clearly written in its three mechanisms).
so it seems evangelicals are already in this mess for years and won't leave it, thinking they must have that chemical to supress the body for their freedom in marriage.
it occurred to me that in heaven we may see it filled to the brim, that those of us who lived here on earth may be the minority among those who were lopped off before birth, and then received in heaven.
as for what is going on......it is the dismantling of society to form a centralized world gov, a scientific dictatorship. whoever ends up with the land will rule the masses.

If Hobby Lobby was smart they would let every employee go and just use temp workers from temp agencies. That way Hobby Lobby would not have to provide morning after pills, health insurance, wages or any other benefit. All they would have to do is pay the temp agency however much the temp agency charges to use their temp workers. Why does any business want to have employees on their payroll when they can use temp workers from temp agencies and avoid paying wages and benefits?
For the secession is a moronic idea folks. How can Christians willingly support such a government as this? This satanic health care plan was put forth by the executive branch, approved by the legislative and is now being affirmed by the judicial. Is there ever going to be a point where we say "enough" and do what we can to peaceably separate from such villainy?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
We can get upset with Obama or with this judge but at the end of the day who is it that passed this law? "Congress shall make no law..."
