[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hobby Lobby and Walmart.[/quote]

Hobby Lobby paid a living wage and provided wonderful health benefits to even part time workers, long before the living wage movement and obamacare were a thing, FYI

Wonderful health benefits that don't include access to birth control for women  :roll: [/quote]

Like I said, I don’t shop there…but it’s interesting that they were ahead of the curve in terms of paying a living wage (for moral reasons).

And ICYMI, Hobby Lobby employees do actually have access to birth control—all methods. The Supreme Court decision (while troubling) prompted an accommodation whereby the health insurance company provides direct access to the select items Hobby Lobby didn’t want a hand in providing (ie: Plan B, IUDs, etc.). So, practically speaking, their employees have access to all methods (and standard BC like the pill were never at issue, just the abortive methods, but the end result is those methods were in fact provided and covered).

Anyway…[/quote]

I still don't want to support a company who is willing to go to the Supreme Court to get exempted from providing birth control, and doing a work around so the insurance company hands the items to the employee directly. I don't want to shop companies where the owners need legislation in order to say they aren't violating their religious convictions by touching birth control.

And yes, people/groups who are actively against abortion, view most forms of the "standard" pill in this category because BC pills have a back up method of making the lining inhospitable to implantation, should an egg happen to slip through and get fertilized. There might be a pill version that doesn't thin the lining, but if they had their way, most brands of BC pills would go away.[/quote]

Okay.

But the lawsuit wasn’t actually about the BC pill. It was about Plan B, and long story short, HL employees do have access to Plan B covered directly through their insurance.

Nonetheless, I’ve never set foot in a HL store. And I’m pro-choice. I just think it’s interesting that some corporations have a more complicated and nuanced track record than most realize.

Again: paying a living wage before others did—and actually providing BC despite what most people believe. And, they do sell Hanukkah decor despite what many critics think.

I find all of this interesting. That’s all.

Utter BS

Hobby Lobby is a RW company they support Trump who is a traitor to the US. Did you not read Jack Smith's report????

Hobby Lobby treats it's employees like crap. Does not want to pay benefits and purposely schedules them so they don't have to pay benefits.

They give monies to Erin Hawley MRS HANDMAIDS TALE>[/quote]
