“Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby,” the case argued in front of the Supreme Court today, asks this question: Regarding religious freedom, does a corporation have the same First Amendment right as an individual? Hobby Lobby thinks it does, as owners David & Barbara Green are strongly opposed to being forced to provide health care coverage that offers certain methods of contraception. But Marcia Greenberger of the National Womens Law Center disagrees, saying theres a “clear government interest” in providing women full contraception coverage. Ms. Greenberger, there’s a “clear government interest” in preventing Americans from going hungry. That’s why there’s EBT cards. But private companies are not federally mandated (yet) to provide groceries for their employees. Hobby Lobby is not restricting a woman’s access to birth control, as all legal forms of contraception will still be readily available. But Obamacare should never compel a private business to violate its religious principles. It’s all about “choice” Ms. Greenberger. Surely you can relate to that.
