Our God is an awesome God! He created this vast universe and He created each and everyone of us. Scripture tells us that He knew us before we were created in our mother's womb. Each life is significant in His eyes. I believe that we are missing the main point... it is not about "our" rights but rather when does life begin. Life created in the womb is as valuable and sacred as life out of the womb. I believe that every woman and man has a right to their own healthcare but do they have the right to destroy innocent life that God has created? Our Constitution, our moral compass and our living God requires us to defend all life. The Greens of Hobby Lobby are taking that stand and will ultimately answer to the highest authority. They are taking a stand no different than others that have proceeded them such as Abraham Lincoln, Wilberforce and Martin Luther Jr. I pray that God would give them the strength to stick to their convictions.

Mary, you object to the "melodrama" of my post, yet you were sent here by another site that criticized it using rather vulgar masturbation metaphors. I would say that is merely melodrama of a different stripe. I trust you registered your objections to the "melodrama" there as well.

Karen, Yes, you are right that I disagree with your conclusions in your post. But you have the perfect right to explore these issues as a writer. What I object to is the melodrama that I see in your post and also with conservative Christians in general. You want to make everything into a holy war. Quite frankly I think more people would be more likely to listen to conservative points of view if they would simply present their views in a calm and reasonable manner. However, I do realize that in the media, that is not how you get ratings.

Wow, Mary Rogers. You seem so certain about so many things about me--although you haven't said much about the actual line of reasoning in my actual post which, I assume, you disagree with.

We need single payer. Those of us who are not evangelical Christians and Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc., have no problem with birth control, abortion, morning after pills, blood transfusions, vaccinations. Lack of single payer means we are at the mercy of our employer's religious beliefs. In this case, Hobby Lobby is clearly more worried about the moral consequences of offering the pill to its employees than it is about the moral consequences of selling endless quantities of Chinese sweatshop knockoffs. A martyr they are not. Their workers, now, would qualify. Single payer. No one needs this.
