Women-Hating Freakazoids Opening Store in Lexington

Boycott these motherfuckers. They are demanding exemption from federal law and the U.S. Constitution to impose their Bronze Age mythology on their employees..

Scott Sloan at the Herald:

Arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby will open a store in Hamburg early next year.

While the chain has stores at Brannon Crossing in Nicholasville and along the Eastern Bypass in Richmond, this will be its first foray into Lexington.

Scott's a bidness "reporter" whose job is to promote bidness no matter how vicious or un-American, so he didn't mention what despicable misogynist godbotherers the corporate owners of Hobby Lobby really are.

Although the Obamacare provision that requires employers to provide contraceptive services free of charge contains an exemption for religious organizations that believe birth control is against their beliefs, conservative Christian institutions continue to fight against it as a perceived affront to their religious liberty. Two prominent lawsuits brought against Obamacare’s birth control mandate have already been dismissed, but that hasn’t stopped an Oklahoma-based crafts supply chain from adding their own legal challenge to the law.

Hobby Lobby, a large chain of craft stores owned by conservative evangelical Christians, filed a federal lawsuit against the contraception mandate today, claiming they should have the right to deny coverage for emergency contraception to over 13,000 employees across 40 states. Hobby Lobby’s owners, the Green family, claim the Obamacare requirement to provide employer-based coverage for that contraceptive service violates their freedom of religion and speech:

In my value system, anyone who tries to take away anyone else's basic human, civil and constitutional rights therefore forfeits his (and it's always his) own human, civil and constitutional rights.

And gets immediately deported to that Galtian paradise of no governmental interference, Somalia.
