Hobby Lobby’s owners were represented in court by a group called the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. Becket’s director, Kristina Arriaga, says Hobby Lobby isn’t stingy or cruel: “The Green family pays twice the minimum wage, closes on Sundays, gives very generous benefits to their employees, and they did not object to 16 out of the 20 drugs (for which coverage was mandated).”
I say it shouldn’t matter whether the Green family is good to its employees. No one is forced to work for them or any company. If business owners don’t want to fund birth control, alcohol rehab, haircuts or anything, that should be their right.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Democrats (who want government define all the choices) pay women less than men, and demand government do something about that too. Perhaps the answer is fewer Democrats?
