The Las Vegas Badger: Good For Hobby Lobby

From the Deseret News:
Craft store chain Hobby Lobby filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Obama administration's requirement that most health insurance plans cover contraceptives for women, citing the owner's religious beliefs and opposition to covering abortion-inducing drugs.

The rule change took effect for businesses on Aug. 1, and requires coverage for sterilization, contraception and some abortion-causing drugs. Hobby Lobby is the largest and only non-Catholic-owned business to file a lawsuit against the mandate thus far, joining 26 other separate lawsuits. A variety of religious groups have pushed back against the rule, saying it is a violation of their fundamental right to religious freedom.

Critics of the mandate have pointed out that while there are exemptions for places of worship, the exemptions are so narrow that they would disqualify those who serve people outside of their faith, like Mother Teresa and Jesus Christ. Religiously affiliated organizations such as hospitals, school and charities are not exempted, and non-profits have until Aug. 1, 2013, to comply.

Hobby Lobby CEO and founder David Green credits God's grace and provision with Hobby Lobby's success, and said the company cannot abandon its religious standards in order to comply with the mandate.

"We seek to honor God by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles," Green said. "The conflict for me is that our family is being forced to choose between following the laws of the country that we love, or maintaining the religious beliefs that have made our business successful and have supported our family and thousands of our employees and their families."? http://www.chron.com/news/article/Pastors-protest-Hobby-Lobby-on-morning-after-pill-3899201.php

I hope Hobby Lobby wins their suit as ObamaCare is clearly unconstitutional when it comes to forcing people to fund insurance benefits that violate their personal beliefs.

I know there is a Hobby Lobby in Henderson, by Best Buy on sunset.? I've been there once, but it is not the kind of hobbies I engage in, but if you like doing arts and crafts, check them out and support them in their fight against the Federal government.
