SCOTUS and Birth Control.

The Supreme court came down in a 5-4 decision for Hobby Lobby not having to cover birth control they (erroneously) think causes abortions. Hobby Lobby needs to get educated on vaginas and birth control.

The thing that has been interesting to watch is the reaction on social media. On Facebook someone I know is an Ayn Randian type of conservative. You pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of guy. Even if you don't have boots you lazy fuck. He was saying a corporation shouldn't have to fund birth control if they are against it.

Firstly, it's a corporation. An entity for business. It ain't a person. I don't see Walmart or Hobby Lobby trying to fit in the pews at the local Catholic church. Because it can't it's a business. Corporations make filing taxes easier by considering them a person. And Citizens United says this corporate entity has the right to free speech like a real person. And floodgates of money opened and woe to the voting public...

Now I wonder if you were hired by a Christian Scientist, would you get any insurance coverage at all? They don't believe in MEDICINE. None of it. You get better by praying to god. Don't pray strong enough and you die. Example of a Christian Scientist? Jim Henson of the Muppets fame. Died of pneumonia because he didn't believe in penicillin. But penicillin believed in him and could have saved his creative ass. Are Christian Scientist owners going to bring a suit to the supreme court? Could happen.

How about Muslims? A Muslim owner of a business could be following Sharia law ans force women to wear burkas. Or deny insurance for women. If a Muslim had gone to the Supreme Court with this same lawsuit, would they have decided in the same way? The 5 justices are Catholic. Would they rule the same way for Islam? Or would they vote against it because they aren't Christian? I really would like to know.

A female friend of mine thinks they would have voted the same way in either case because it is anti-vagina. They are keeping women as second class citizens.

When are the old fuckers on the Supreme Court going to die? It needs to get packed with people who don't think corporations are people and women should be protected equally under the law.

The really hypocritical thing about the decision... Viagra and condoms and vasectomies are cover by Hobby Lobby's insurance. What a double standard.
