In reply to the discussion: why I suspect reaction to Hobby Lobby is somewhat hair-on-fire [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)I'm gobsmacked that the vast implications of this decision are not being taken seriously by many on this (purportedly liberal) board. The issues are many, and I'm too busy with work, and my mind is too roiling, to list them all:
The precedent that corporations can hold religious beliefs
The precedent that even false beliefs (e.g., that Plan B and their ilk are abortifacientsa scientifically proven falsehood) should be recognized as true "beliefs"
The idea that corporations, which are formed usually to separate out the owners from the business, in this case are identified with the owners.
The idea that women's health can be directed by their employers--and, frankly, at least at this point, ONLY women's health
The list could go on and on .. But REALLY, "what's the big deal"?
