Can Hobby Lobby say that their employees cannot pay for an abortion using money they earned working there? If so, can a vegetarian member of PETA say their employees cannot use their salary to buy meat because they are against eating meat for moral reasons? Can a Jewish boss dictate that am employee not use their salary for buying pork? Can any boss say an employee's salary cannot be spent of alcohol or tobacco or any other product they find offensive?
