This next week the United States Supreme Court will hear arguments from attorneys representing Hobby Lobby that detail their Conscience Objections to having to provide health care coverage for their employees that covers birth control.
The Green family, owners of Hobby Lobby have stated that their religious convictions do not allow them to cover their employees birth control.
Annalee Flower Horne, a practicing Quaker, notes strong support for conscience objections but takes exception with what Hobby Lobby is attempting to do. She states:
As a Quaker, I believe in Conscience Protection. I believe people should have the right to refuse work that violates their principles. If a draft were called tomorrow, I would wholeheartedly support peoples right not to serve.
