Faiths Based Businesses Really Want To Forbid Employees Using Birth Control.

The real intentions of Hobby Lobby, probably Chick Fila and RW religious organizations really want is to forbid or stop its employees from using birth control. Whether it is reprimanding employees who do, stopping insurance coverage et al, these organizations really want to use their authority to keep their employees from using their reproductive rights.

Forget all the lawsuits and other shenanigans if you work for someone of a certain religious belief you are expected to honor their religious practices if you get a pay check from them. That outcome is the real endgame of all this fuss.

To make matters worse they even would want to prevent their employees the use of their own money to purchase such coverage. The religious freedom mantra is really a trap to force religion on non believers. And the end result would be no better than the most radical Islamic governments.

And religious freedom is really about forcing your religion on others and not escaping laws you do not like.

To impose their stunted, blighted, prehistoric concept of morality and social control is the only thing these walking, talking blobs of human sewage EVER want. Cos Jeebus says so!

No birth control = pregnancy; better stay abstinent

No maternity leave = not needed if you stay abstinent

No abortion insurance = not needed if you stay abstinent

They want to control the sex lives of female employees. Proof? None of these things applies to men.
