Makes one wonder why some are given a reprieve and another is not. This imposition reminds me of the prayer Dad often prayed when he was alive. He said this every time at Thanksgiving when the family was together. He thanked God "for the privilege of engaging in free enterprise." Wonder how long...

How quietly the government snake has coiled itself around the free enterprise system and has begun to squeeze the life out of it.This will not end with prosperity in the hands of the common people.God bless Hobby Lobby!

I want to share the quandary I have with this entire situation.I think it stinks when the gov comes along and says you have to buy a certain kind of insurance for your employees, especially something that will involve a procedure you consider offensive, sin. I do not care what business you are in, this idea stinks, IMO. Maybe not all that humble? :-/ I love to shop at Hobby Lobby - I know very few females that do not. I get their weekly emails... I can go there and spend a couple hours and perhaps not even spend much money - I enjoy how their offerings will challenge my creativity. I love the store. But. They market Santa Claus...I find Santa Claus an impostor that mars ones perception of the birth of Jesus, my Lord that is being celebrated. It is distracting ones attention away from Him. I do not think they sell witches, etc that pertains to Halloween in Oct...why Santa Claus? Maybe I am being picky...has anyone else noticed this?
Have no fear, Ginnyrose! In many places Santa Clause has been banned along with baby Jesus as too religious!"Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing" asked the psalmist. It is a profound thing that those who deny the gifts of God and the graciousness of His people find themselves separated from the common sense and reason that they have made to be their own god!
