The justices did not comment in leaving in place lower court rulings in favor of businesses that object to covering all 20 methods of government-approved contraception.

(45,806 posts)When I emailed them when the scotus first accepted the case and told them I will never set foot inside one of their store again because of this, they said it was ONLY 2 forms of BC that they object to.
I hope this bites them in the ass BIG TIME!

(9,148 posts)They were betting that a good percentage of the population would accept that "it was only 2 forms of BC" and by today they'd forgive forget & resume their Hobby Lobby Shopping.
Isn't this generally how the GOP, Teapukes, & the Sanitized Media spin their shitty maneuvers with our political system & laws?
A small sort of half assed watered down tidbit here & there, & wait out the expected reaction, then a few days later offer a hidden apology or truth & move on to the next event. FIFA is on soon. Hoping people will forget what all the big to-do was really about anyway.
sons a bitches are so predictable.

Thanks for posting I will link this post to the rest of my posts, hoping all do not disappear in the rapid pace of GD & Latest Threads.
People need to know the truth EVERY DAMN DAY until the November election.
I have requested a DU FORUM be created just to keep all these posts in the same place. We will need to reference the Links & great info as necessary through November elections. Cannot let the Religious Right play this game of Hit & Run with our civil & constitutional rights without their being constantly exposed & called out.
Total B.S.
