Hobby Lobby decision is coming today

[hereigo]

[suzyp]

Fuck them. I am so mad. And more angry that they apparently specifically stated that the decision did not apply to blood transfusions or vaccines. So, it only applies to something that is woman-specific AND was brought by a Christian corporation - so apparently Christian Scientists don't get the same "religious freedoms"

[spitforspat]

WTF. I can't believe this.

[pinkeggs]

What are all of you still doing online? Get your asses back to the kitchen.

This is so insane.

[fuckyourcouch]

I cannot believe this shit.

[cc]

I am so fucking pissed.

[mrsgoontz]

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! I am in disbelief.

[toepick]

You know what? When politicians tell you what they plan to do, you can't be surprised when they actually do them. Here's Mitch McConnell: "

McConnell vows to limit abortion rights:  "U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell said if he's elected the majority leader following November's election, he'll push through legislation limiting a woman's right to have an abortion.
"

So fellow people with lady parts, time to turn off our brains and get back to just birthin' babiez.

Since the Supreme Court said this couldn't be used as a basis for racial discrimination, but said zero things about it being used as a basis for discrimination based on sex or sexual orientation.

Who is going to pay for all of the babies that they want to bring into the world? Oh right, Jesus 

I mean really. How the FUCK do right wing whackos think that this is going to work? Yes, restrict women's birth control so we have MOAR babies that we can't afford and/or don't want...

But make sure to cut programs that will help to support them after the children are born!!!

My mom has the perfect answer - just don't work for somebody who doesn't share your religious beliefs ! Solved.

Ummm....there is nobody higher than the SUPREME Court who could overturn it.

Meanwhile, at the Michael's headquarters...

Ummm... laws change because new cases arise, culture changes, etc., so yes... this could eventually one day be null and void.  Even if the SC deems it so today.

A few asses on my FB feed are writing "if the libs don't like it, they don't have to shop there. problem solved". and BS like that. I can't even form a coherent response to that. I just see red.

Andplusalso one that offers great maternity leave, since those jobs are so plentiful.

I'm so tired of conservative males restricting the rights of women through backward public policies.  I feel like we are going back to the dark ages, seriously.

There is already talk that the decision violated the equal protection clause since it applies only to women. They may have screwed themselves by carving out that it does not apply to blood transfusions and vaccines. We just need someone to claim gender discrimination based on this ruling and Hobby Lobby policies and get this back to the court.

And this is why elections matter people. Look at this vote, and look at the justices that sided with the majority opinion. Then look at what president appointed them.

Scalia - Reagan
Kennedy - Reagan
Thomas - HW Bush
Roberts - W Bush
Alito - W Bush

Then look at the dissenting voters:

Ginsburg - Clinton
Breyer - Clinton
Sotomayor - Obama
Kagan - Obama

Yeah, I keep waiting for pagas to come in here and tell us why this is actually a good thing.

Opinions can be reversed - like I said, someone can and hopefully will claim that this decision violate the equal protection clause. It can end up back at the Supreme Court again.

[5hole]

I just don't understand how this happens. This sucks

Thank you. People don't get it. 
I know more than one person that voted for their wallet last election because "more than half the country wouldn't vote for (banning abortions/oppressing women/etc)". 
All it would have taken to fuck even more up is for Romney to have won, appoint a super conservative justice, and roll this kind of bullshit out over and over.

It's disgusting. At the very least, be consistent about it.

There's quite a few people on my FB saying this isn't negative to women and that people shouldn't have to pay for your freeloading birth control.
