So what's the problem?


Religious liberty is a slippery slope and can be used as an excuse to save money. Oh, well xyz is against my religion so I can't pay for it. What's stopping people from just making shite up?

I used to live in France, and Muslims use that fricking excuse for everything! Meanwhile, they have sex before marriage, abuse women, sell and take drugs. But praise allah when it suits them.

Same with Mexicans and birth control. They have six kids from 3 daddies, but it's against their religion to use protection during out of wedlock sex.

Imho it's no different than the case of making a cake for a gay couple. You knew the risks before getting into business and you knew what the law of the land was.

again

this ruling was one of statute

if you want the answer to that question, read the statute and caselaw from it

this wasn't some case that involved a judicially-created right like the right to abortion or gay marriage. it's a statutory dispute

it's very different b/c those are state-based prosecutions, typically via regulatory authority. there are many states who have similar statutes to RFRA , which was the issue in Hobby Lobby
