Documents filed with the Department of Labor and dated December 2012—three months after the company's owners filed their lawsuit—show that the Hobby Lobby 401(k) employee retirement plan held more than $73 million in mutual funds with investments in companies that produce emergency contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices, and drugs commonly used in abortions. Hobby Lobby makes large matching contributions to this company-sponsored 401(k).

Several of the mutual funds in Hobby Lobby's retirement plan have holdings in companies that manufacture the specific drugs and devices that the Green family, which owns Hobby Lobby, is fighting to keep out of Hobby Lobby's health care policies: the emergency contraceptive pills Plan B and Ella, and copper and hormonal intrauterine devices.

You don't seem to understand how mutual funds work.

But...but..but..Hobby Lobby said they don't believe in those kinds of things. They said so! And conservatives rallied behind them! This can't be true.

This is no different than the CT teachers union's retirement fund investing in the Bushmaster firearms company. These are giant funds that invest in many, many, many different companies and industries.

honestly, even if most people are going to ignore the fact that HL is only not wanting to pay for specific contraception, this whole thing is ludicrous.

china has MANDATED abortions for certain criteria and I'd wager the vast majority of HL's stock comes from the chicoms.

I mean you gotta draw the line somewhere, some of their money at some point is going to go towards something they don't support, and I'd wager that's true for most of us.

the difference is choosing to, or being forced to.

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.
