I love how you and your ilk consistently cite privacy and self-determination in enforcing codependence. No one is stopping a woman from exercising her own self-determination. They merely wish women to pay for it themselves. The feminists fought for the right to pick up the check on a date, but for others to pay for them to have irresponsible sex and luxury medical operations. The most effective form of contraception is free. If you don't want a child formed out of your gametes, do exactly what a man can do - suck it up and endure it for a couple of decades at penalty of destroying your life, criminal history, credit rating and driving privileges.

Somehow I have the feeling that society will survive even a pandemic-level outbreak of menstrual cramps. Of greater interest to the public and society, according to the science of Darwinism, would be the paramount concern of propagating the species, towards which birth control and abortion are counter-indicated.
Corporate entities are made of people, who have beliefs. If the actions of a corporation are to be complete separated from the people who belong to it, than you can't charge individuals with crimes committed in their capacity as executives and employees of a corporation. If corporations have no first amendment rights, than freedom of the press applies only to private citizen posting on the internet and typing or printing off their home computer. It most definitely does not apply to the NY Times, the Huffington Post, or MSNBC.

No one is contesting a woman's right to birth control. They are only contesting the right to demand someone else pay for it.

Islamics believe in free birth control?
No, they get fed up with being forced to pay homage to the myth of the strong independent woman while being forced to make special accommodations for over the last 50 years.

"I am a strong independent woman! I am just as good as a man! I demand to be treated EXACTLY as a man! Now pay me to take off to grow a baby in my uterus, pay for me to have casual sex if I don't feel like growing a baby, pay to double your bathrooms for my exclusive use, provide a place for my children to be cared for when I work, enforce speech codes so my ears are undisturbed by anything I don't like at work, regardless of whether or not the conversation involves me, and have special days to recognize and appreciate my contributions, even though you had to lower standards for me to make them."

Actually, all this is doing is putting off the day of a confrontation over all the special privileges and accommodations made for women with no equivalence for men. Ladies get the pill from their employers when men get condoms. If a woman has the right to opt out of parenthood at any time during pregnancy or afterward, so should the man. Equal protection should mean EQUAL protection.

Do you know what "begs the question" means? I suspect not, because you'd see the irony of my query in this context.

The real issue is that no one is forcing them to invest in those companies.

Separation of Church and State is nowhere in the Constitution. Instead, Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion is an absolute and explicitly stated restriction on the State. The free exercise of the religion of the Hobby Lobby owners requires them to refrain from using their own money to directly facilitate immoral activity.
