Hobby Lobby vs Kathleen Sebelius, concerns Hobby Lobby's contention that it's unconstitutional for the feds to require them to offer free contraception to employees as part of their healthcare.

Now, I could be wrong, but my understanding is that if a woman needs birth control pills for medical reasons (which is fairly common), Hobby Lobby is willing to provide it. HL does not want to provide contraception that is not related to a medical condition, in other words, they don't want to provide the tools for their employees to engage in recreational sex.

If that's true, we'll see if religious freedom means anything in this country. If the Supreme Court says that HL must provide what is essentially safety equipment for a voluntary, recreational activity...then I want to know why my health insurance doesn't give me a free ski helmet. I choose to ski, why should I have to buy my helmet, if Sandra Fluke doesn't have to buy her birth control?

If my presumption is true (that contraception is provided when there's a medical issue) than this has absolutely nothing to do with healthcare. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Bupkus.
