with joy
to the Supreme Court's favorable
ruling
that it can uphold its religious belief in
seeking to be
exempted from part of the Obamacare HHS mandate the company considers
as pro-abortion.
In
a response to the decision, Hobby Lobby co-founder Barbara Green
says, "Our family is overjoyed by the Supreme Court's decision.
Today the nation's highest court has re-affirmed the vital importance
of religious liberty as one of our country's founding principles. The
Court's decision is a victory, not just for our family business, but
for all who seek to live out their faith. We are grateful to God and
to those who have supported us on this difficult journey." Read more at

health insurance with free contraceptives for their female
employees,” Rasmussen reports. Kristina Arriaga, Executive Director
of the Becket Fund, tells LifeNews, “In fact, the Greens pay
salaries that start at twice the minimum wage and offer excellent
benefits, as well as a healthcare package which includes almost all
of the contraceptives now mandated by the Affordable Care Act. Their
only objection is to 4 drugs and devices which, the government itself
concedes, can terminate an embryo.” Read more at
