No Offense intended CWill, but Every thread I come to you seem to be getting backed into a corner by common sense and logic after issuing absolutes and generalities.

No offense bud, but your not being objective in your reading of this thread or seeing a POV in my posts that isn't expressed.

This great "gotcha" moment is repeated on a daily basis by virtually every single person who has specific beliefs and who also invests.

There's a difference between not believing in using birth control and not facilitating the use of birth control. They are against facilitation therefore their investment is hypocritical and undermines the basis of their challenge. If they were so religiously inclined they could invest and provide a 401k that invests in line with their beliefs. It's unfortunate.

The ACA will have to be repealed. Challenges like this are doomed to fail.

IIRC hobby lobby actually does provide contraception, just not all types mandated under Obozocare

So do the companies they invest in not provide abortifacients? If they do you're back to square 1.

I wish companies would just pay people a full salary and let them get whatever fricking plan they want. I find it just as distasteful that my employer controls my insurance choices.

a fair point, but its still a private organization you voluntarily enter into agreement with.

I think there are some companies that actually did give employees the option of a little extra cash or being placed on an insurance plan.

huh?

Your employer doesn't control your insurance choices. You can certainly purchase your own insurance.

They only object to 4 of the over a dozen forms of contraception that are part of the law but that doesn't fit the liberal narrative of evil woman hating Hobby Lobby's war on women for daring to object to certain parts of the law.

Liberal translation guide:

Pro adoption/anti unborn baby killing equals War on Women

Pro adoption equals war on women

Being for responsibility/abstinence or actually raising a child you risked having equals War on the Poor.

Liberals have groups that fight to protect animal rights but despise those who try to protect unborn babies.

Yo there bud that company isn't Hobby but a different entity altogether and Hobby doesn't control them. But if enough people are made aware of this at the Hobby main office in Atlanta they might change their investors for the future. There is nothing quite like bursting a posters laughter bubble to make for a very good day.

I'll take financial plan ignorance for $1000 Alex.

Why should he? I would assume he's a lib. They don't have mutual funds. They wait til they piss away all they have or could plunder then legislate YOUR savings away under the guise of fairness.
