As has been already noted, the ruling only affects 4 abortion causing forms of birth control, out of 20. I suspect that the vast majority of people whining about the Hobby Lobby decision don't know the facts of the case or the law that the ruling was based on and almost certainly didn't read the decision but based their opinion on biased and disingenuous "news" reporting. What most people fail to realize is that Obamacare, by mandating that insurance companies provide birth control, has almost certainly increased the price for birth control and therefor the insurance premiums that we pay either directly or indirectly through taxes to cover subsides. This is what happens when the gov gets involved in anything. A case in point is college tuition: the gov being involved in student loans has directly resulted in tuition prices rising much faster than the rate of inflation over the past 30 years. It used to be that "health insurance" was designed to cover serious, and therefore expensive, illnesses. I never thought of pregnancy as a disease. Welcome to the entitlement era where the gov mandates, controls, and forces us to pay for whatever the bureaucrats think people should be receiving and anyone who disagrees is called names.
