The Rude Pundit: Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby: Discount Crosses and Abortion
At Hobby Lobby, you can buy all kinds of crosses. There's the Blessed Girls cross that looks like Hello Kitty could be crucified on it. That one says, "Giggle" on the top because that's obviously what Jesus did as nails were being hammered into him. There's a cross with crosses on it to show that you love Christ more than anyone else. There's blue, red, or yellow crosses; a cross made of horseshoes; and even a cross with zebra stripes. There's more than 150 different kinds of crosses you can buy from Hobby Lobby, and that's not even getting into all the other things that have crosses on them as decoration. Why do they have so many crosses? Because the founder of Hobby Lobby, David Green, loves Jesus. He loves Jesus with all his heart and soul. He loves Jesus so fucking much that he thinks he is betraying the words of Jesus if he provides health insurance to employees that allows them to get four methods of birth control that, despite all science to the opposite, he believes cause abortions. Indeed, Green himself said that they are "what I believe are abortion-causing drugs." In other words, part of the Affordable Care Act might be changed because David Green thinks the morning-after pill does something it does not. So the case is not just about what his particular invisible sky wizard wants. It's about how he doesn't care what facts are. He would rather not provide health insurance than be forced to provide insurance that covers those birth control methods. The case was just heard in the Supreme Court, and, despite the best efforts of the female justices, the male justices sure seemed to side with David Green, especially about the morning after pill and IUDs being abortifacents. But let's get back to the crosses, shall we? -
