The supreme Court has ruled 5-4 mostly in favor of Hobby Lobby's case seeking exemption from Obamacare mandate of paying for certain abortive contraception medications.

I agree with their decision, and I think it's a step in the right direction of liberty and freedom.

What are your thoughts about this decision?

It's amazing to see the difference in reporting this event between CNN and FOX.

The angry people are on CNN, and the happy people are on FOX.

I knew it'd come down this way. That Supreme Court is horrible. Everything is for the corporations no matter how hypocritical they may be.

I do not agree is a devastating decision against women. It also gives corporation more power against the people.

I'd rather deal with corporation rights than government edicts.

We can choose how we individually want to deal with corporations, but we are all bound by governmental rules, whether we like them or not.

Individuals are falling by the wayside. The Supreme Court is saying that we don't care about the individual, the corporation is more important. Again, the Republican members standing up for big business and the Democratic members (progressive) thinking of the person.

in the bigger picture... it is a loss of an individual's rights versus the gain of a corporation's rights

How have women lost? Any female employee of Hobby Lobby, or any other company, can freely go and buy any contraceptive they want to use.

The ruling only says that Hobby Lobby doesn't have to pay for about four contraceptives that induce abortions. They still provide money for a much larger number of different contraceptives.

I believe they still have to pay for 16 out of 20 different types of contraceptives.

I hope they are going to get rid of Viagra. Why should they cover that?
