The court is reviewing provisions of the Affordable Care Act requiring for-profit employers of a certain size to offer insurance benefits for birth control and other reproductive health services without a co-pay.
At issue is whether certain companies can refuse to do so on the sincere claim it would violate their owners' long-established personal beliefs.
The problem as I see it. like many religious beliefs this one is something demonstrably false. They believe the IUD and morning after pills are abortifacants. They are not. But it IS a sincere religious belief.
“I have never heard Hobby Lobby or any other corporation, I could be wrong, or any other boss complain that Viagra is covered in many insurance plans, practically all of them, or other kinds of things, you know, for men, which I won’t go into
As NARAL president Ilyse Hogue explained to Bee during the segment, Medicare has spent $172 million on penis pumps over the last five years, and no one seems to have a problem with that.
Better question, why doesn't everyone have fone on block?
Hobby Lobby's argument seems so tenuous that I'm not even sure how this made it all the way to SCOTUS. On the other hand, it's another way to expand corporate rights so I guess there's my answer.

Probably by using the same shady lawyer logic a'la the 14th amendment, that allowed corporations to be recognized as an individual.
Why is abortion even being brought up? Use of contraception is not abortion...
You just have the understand the conservative mind.
It's not that conservatives are against abortion or contraception, it's that they're against anything and everything that allows women to have sex without the consequence of bearing a child. That's why they rally against the 'abortion pill' when it doesn't do anything like what they think it does.
If they were really just against abortion, they would throw all their support towards contraception because it's the best way to lower abortion rates.
I mean everyone knows every conservative is anti women.
Those conservatives (mostly) are the ones that seem to be cool with medicare allowing old impotent men to get laid for free/reduced cost. But god forbid a woman want to do the same!
Not to mention for the other non-contraceptive reasons that are vastly more viable reasons for health care coverage then viagra and penis pumps will ever be.
