(18,624 posts)I'm not sure, but it appears you believe this court decision to be an attack on women, and are taking it personally. I don't have a dog in this particular gender fight you seem to be waging in DU, and I don't know to whom you refer when you name "certain men", but I believe you're somewhat shortsighted.
I'm certain the right wing corporatists on the Supreme could not care less about your reproductive decisions, or the bible for that matter, and more about yet handing another deregulation victory to a major corporation. Even Elaine Kagen, in her minority dissent, made no mention of women's issues, but instead focused on how corporations can interpret this to cheat workers of both sexes out of benefits in the near future.
Your arrogance in finding this decision to be all about you is like my complaining that the Supreme's fateful decision to merge Sirius and XM was all about Robert's disdain for Deadheads like me who enjoy the network's Grateful Dead channel.
You'd find more support if you organized against Hobby Lobby instead of alienating 50% f the population in an imaginary battle against liberal misogyny. I'm personally not going to set foot again in the retail giant's store, but such a shunning is easy in such a competitive market. I'm doing this because of the company's obvious disregard for labor, not just for the couple hundred total female workers that it may affect in the short term.
