It never ceases to amaze me how a person will so skew an issue to benefit their political agenda.
Take the recent SCOTUS ruling on the Hobby Lobby, et al case.
If one were to base their opinion on what is reported by the "mainstream" media one would believe that the SCOTUS ruled that Hobby Lobby is exempt from providing contraceptive services for women. But, if one actually to the time to look at the ruling, the SCOTUS simply ruled that the least restrictive measures should be required when dealing with the ACA as it relates to the religious beliefs of a closely held corporation.
In the end, the SCTOUS simply stated that there are other least restrictive ways for Hobby Lobby et al to provide contraceptive services other than requiring Hobby Lobby et al to provide.
SCOTUS wrote:Although many of the required, FDA-approved methods of contraception work by preventing the fertilization of an egg, four of those methods (those specifically at issue in this case) may have the effect of preventing a fertilized egg developing any further by inhibiting its attachment to the uterus.
Hobby Lobby is controlled by the Green family, Conestoga another party in this case is owned by the Hahn family. Both of these families hold religious beliefs that life begins at conception. As such they opposed having to provide coverage for what the believe are in essence aborticants.
Before one jumps up and hollers that the methods opposed by the parties isn't an aborticant, one should know that in a brief submitted to the SCOTUS in this case it acknowledged that the methods in question could in fact result in the destruction of an embryo.
In the end, it should be known that the parties involved in this case do in fact provide contraceptive methods in their employer sponsored healthcare plans. The "mainstream" media just chooses to ignore that SMALL fact.
Let the party begin......
