To all these people demanding religious exclusions ...

7. No. "Sincere belief" does not convey a right to discrimininate.

Various religions sincerely believe in various terrible things. Slavery. Child abuse. And of course, every type of denigration of women.

What Hobby Lobby demanded WAS a right to discriminate -- to treat just women's health needs differently because of a combination of a factually incorrect understanding of how birth control works, and because of a claimed religious objection to abortion.

The overall attempt is to frame affirmatively discriminating against women as a "right" under the concept of religious freedom. This is an inversion of logic, ethics, and good taste. More broadly, religious conservatives in America frequently argue that mistreating people in various ways should be protected as religious freedom.

That is not the way we have ever interpreted the First Amendment, nor do I think it was what was envisioned under RFRA, and it's an incredibly bad road to travel going forward.
