24. Virtually all products we buy are made in highly exploitive conditions in the Third World

That is not what distinguishes Hobby Lobby. Add to the list the companies that made your computers and telephones, all your electronic equipment, clothing, shoes, dishes, and most everything else we buy.

That is an issue apart from Hobby Lobby's lawsuit about birth control.

Where does this quote you use about barefoot and pregnant come from? I have never known an employer that wanted workers to become pregnant. It usually is quite the opposite. Pregnancy results in lost days of work and often reduced productivity. That quote makes no sense, and since you don't have a source for it, I have to wonder if it is your invention.

There are all kinds of legitimate grievances with Hobby Lobby and the Catholic Church, but for some reason you prefer to focus on things that have nothing to do with the actual case. Facts matter. There is plenty to support your argument that would actually make sense. I don't know why you pull stuff in that doesn't.
