HOBBY LOBBY AS MRS. BROMSTEIN TELLS IT, A MAN CAME IN AND ASKED FOR A CERTAIN BIRTH CONTROL ITEM AND SHE TOLD HIM, SUR, WE AT HOBBY LOBBY DO NOT BELIEVE IN SUCH IMMORAL THINGS, NOR WOULD WE AID YOU IN COMMITTING SUCH UNSEEMLY ACTS. TO WHICH HE REPLIED, BUT SUCH THINGS ARE MY HOBBY, AND MRS. BROMSTEIN CALLED 911 THEN HAD AN ATTACK OF THE VAPORS.
What ever happened to “Freedom of Conscience”? I believe that is what the first few words of the 1st Amendment are really all about, not just ""Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" but the right to follow one’s own conscience and not be told by other what one should or must believe! That should apply to corporations as well. After all, corporations, big and small, are min-governments in and of themselves in the way they try to control their employees’ behaviors, especially moral behaviors such as birth control or even abortion. Of course corporations are not morally obligated to pay for any procedure that they consider morally wrong, but have no say otherwise.
