It seems only certain religious organizations are allowed to exempt themselves from the Obamacare mandate for birth control.
If you are not familiar with the Estate system of the pre-French Revolution period then you might want to read up on it.
According to Obamacare, only a special class of people in the US are allowed to practice their religious beliefs by being exempted from funding abortion. This is nothing more than creating special classes in the US. If you belong to this class, then you are allowed to have your religious beliefs validated. If you do not belong to the special class then your religious beliefs are of no importance.
Way to go Obama, way to take us back.

The nuns probably should win.
Hobby Lobby should lose; the idea that corporations, artificially created institutions, have a "right" to religious "freedom" is ridiculous on its face.

Originally posted by EladarA corporation is no more "made up of people" than a shovel is. It's a tool created by people to perform certain functions thought to be useful, but the idea that it would have any "rights" that were not specifically and explicitly granted to it is bizarre fetishism.
Really?
I guess you think they are run by computers or something.
