[sarcasm]I think you're right actually. Hobby Lobby should pull their money from those drug companies right away! Sure, the cash going to those baby killing divisions of the pharmaceutical companies is just a tiny fraction of the budget given to other products like vaccines and cancer treatments, but after all, nothing is more important than the fact that liberals would rather have more people sick and dying if it suits their political agendas.
but after all, nothing is more important than the fact that people like your self would rather have more people pregnant and in debt if it suits their political agendas.
Hobby Lobby is only protesting a couple of types of birth control, not all of them. They aren't demanding that their employees not use the stuff they're protesting... They just aren't going to pay for it. Women figured out lots of ways to not get pregnant before the methods in question were available. I don't think it's a huge leap to expect that those methods will still work if Hobby Lobby employees don't want to pay for those methods.

We certainly don't want corporations like Hobby Lobby reputation sullied by investing in the hundreds of beneficial drugs being developed every day by companies like Pfizer, on the off chance that a dime or two of their investment might be theoretically used to murder the unborn.
Just as the infintesimal amount of money from their insurance premium goes to pay for the prohibited items. So what is your point?
Well, we all have our line in the sand. That's their line in the sand. You don't like it? Tough shit. They won their case.

Hobby Lobby should pull ALL their investments in hospital antibiotics and childrens vaccines for third world shitholes and invest it in something else profitable,
Whoa dude first it is that they are invested in the same corporations that make the prohibited items now you are appealing to some sense of moral duty to help those less fortunate than you while supporting heaping misfortune on the employees of h/l...that is like totally fucked up. Why would you be in favor of fucking taxpaying american citizens to help someone who is not?
No one has provided any evidence that there is any misfortune being heaped on Hobby Lobby employees. If you call expecting them to be responsible for their own naughty bits heaping misfortune, you really need to grow some balls...

It seems to have met with yours.
Since I've occasionally stated on these very forums that America should just turn the the vast majority of the Middle East into a sheet of glass and be done with the whole mess, I fail to see how your retarded jab at me was ever going to pan out. I'm quite comfortable with what does and doesn't meet my approval. But then I'm a little old school, and still have a spine. I'm really kinda fine with all kinds of empire building, and feel no moral obligation to give a fuck about foreign nations whose leaders have stated that they want to destroy my country.
This, of course, has nothing to do with the conversation at hand.
