Hobby Lobby Taking Religious Stand Against Obamacare
Posted by wlpo on December 27, 2012
Would you do business with or take your business elsewhere from a company based on their religious beliefs?
A U.S. Supreme Court Justice denied a request by Hobby Lobby to block part of the new federal health care law requiring employee health-care plans to offer morning-after pills. Hobby Lobby sued the government, claiming the mandate violates the religious beliefs of company owners.
However the court said Hobby Lobby failed to meet a legal standard of blocking the requirement on an emergency basis. Hobby Lobby officials now say they have to decide whether to violate their religious faith or face a daily million dollar fine January 1st for ignoring the law.
Chik-fil-a made waves earlier this year when they took a stance on opposing gay marriage. Long lines were seen at their restaurants following the controversial stance.
