16. Does the insurance

force him to have an abortion or buy birth control pills or get sterilized? So how does it even apply to him? What if all insurance policies covered those things, would he opt out of insurance for himself and his family then since it would be so offensive? These guys are making the U.S. a joke of a place to live. He can still believe whatever he wants to believe, there is nothing in this law stopping him from believing in his religion.

Things like this and their bible thumbing is exactly the reason I would never apply for a job at Hobby Lobby or Uline, never, ever.
