SCOTUS confirms today (Tuesday) that decision applies to all forms of contraception provided by ACA.

http://news.yahoo.com/justices-act-other-health-law-mandate-cases-133633160--politics.html;_ylt=A0LEV0_Jw7JTfGsAwEJXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB0aTRxYjk3BHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1ZJUDQ2NF8x

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday confirmed that its decision a day earlier extending religious rights to closely held corporations applies broadly to the contraceptive coverage requirement in the new health care law, not just the handful of methods the justices considered in their ruling.

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.

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!

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.

Perhaps tomorrow they will clarify a bit more as to what their decision means for the lesser of America.
