"Hobby Lobby". Be honest, have you heard of Hobby Lobby before this Supreme Court decision? Because I hadn't. I looked it up on wikipedia, they are mainly in Oklahoma. I guess they have some stores in mostly the East, but I have never heard of them.

Most people don't know who or what the hell "Hobby Lobby" is in the first place. So just one more reason this will not even cause a ripple in most average people's consciousness.


Ok, I guess I was wrong, but not being a person from the Eastern part of the country, I had never heard of them.

1. They have 300+ stores, 28k+ employees n/t

[steve2470]

2. They are in Florida also, have never been there, only seen it nt

[el_bryanto]

4. I bought some yarn there once (here in Florida) - about 4 years ago?

Can't remember why I needed the yarn. Wandered around a bit - looked like a hobby store - a bunch of junk that presumably people more creative than me could make into nice stuff.

Seems unlikely I'll go back.

3. Until, of course,

the inevitable flood of demands that corporations be exempt from things like, oh, discrimination against LGBT employees on religious grounds. Oh wait, that has already happened as of yesterday.

9. exactly nt

[CherokeeDem]

5. The aren't only in Oklahoma....

The first one I saw was in Ft Lauderdale, FL and there is one here in Lexington, KY. They are in several states.... Oklahoma may be corporate headquarters.

Went in once in Florida.... cheap crap... never went back...

6. They're here in NH

And my wife, who does a bit of crafting, has already been avoiding them for a long time.

7. They have twelve stores wtihin 25 miles of me, and I am NOT in OK. eom

[Voice for Peace]

8. there are 4 hobbylobbies within 100 miles of me (in NM)

so your wiki source must be wrong.

[Starry Messenger]

10. Guess you live in a cave.

[Travis_0004]

11. I think Hobby Lobby is in 41 states

[seaglass]

12. Wrong, yet again. n/t

[FSogol]

13. You're wrong. Millions of women are involved in the struggle for reproductive rights.

The right, with the help of an activist USSC, is now linking birth control to abortion and trying to restrict it too. They won't get away with it. You personally and the right in this country are underestimating the amount of people that will see this ruling as a reason to get involved and vote.

You are also wrong about OK. They have close to 600 stores in 24 states.

[shraby]

14. They are in Wisconsin also.

[merrily]

15. They've heard of contraception, though, which is the important part of this

case. They've also heard of corporations.

The identity of the plaintiff is not all that material. The holdings are.

(Did you not know that?)

If people don't care about this case, it will be because they never heard of it or don't understand its impact or what it can easily lead to.

17. They Are Very Well Known, Sir

You may have little contact with 'the crafty' and their ilk, but they are extremely numerous, and for that matter, predominantly women.

20. It's getting hard for me to tell the difference between

sincerely held beliefs and reflex contrarianism anymore.

21. True, Ma'am

19. lol. I know, it is very rare to see any duer admit they were

wrong. As always, the ego gets in the way for most people.


Personally, I don't have a problem with it.

22. I suppose when you are wrong ALL the time, you get used to it, ego or not.
