Why did the Supreme Court rely on junk science for its Hobby Lobby ruling?

Question

Both companies currently provide health insurance to their employees, which is what makes their plans subject to the preventative care requirements under Obamacare. And both companies say they don't object to all contraception, simply drugs or intrauterine devices that prevent pregnancy after fertilization, contraceptive methods that folks on the right mis-label and malign as "abortifacients."

That characterization is factually, scientifically untrue. In fact, it's worth noting that Hobby Lobby actually provided the contraception coverage before it dropped it and decided to sue.

For the Court to even get to its ruling that the contraception mandate "substantially burdens" the exercise of religion, it has to believe this bunk science. Moreover, in a free and secular society, birth control should be about medicine and science and personal health, not religion.

Answer 1

Pressure from Republicans losing on every turn of event.

Answer 2

Just because you believe the science does not make it true. You won't stop partial birth abortions, so you already put your political religion over your own science.

If you are religious then you take the word of God over Dr. Oz.



After all you are the people that tell us that man made global warming was going to have Miami underwater 10 years ago. Then we found out that your team fudged the data for political reason and grants.

Answer 3

It didn't. The ruling wasn't based on the definition of "abortifacient".



It must really suck to have to lie all the time to defend ideas and policies you support.

Answer 4

You tell me. Aren't they a bunch of bleeding heart anti-white liberals?

Answer 5

Because it’s about religious freedom not birth control. If Obamacare forced Muslim restaurant owners to serve bacon it would not be about the bacon it would be about what they believe.

Answer 6

"medicine and science and personal health, not religion." I disagree.

Answer 7

Please ask the question tomorrow-I'm celebrating right now.
