People continue to confuse the Supreme Court ruling with woman's rights. In the Hobby Lobby case, the Supreme Court only said that Hobby Lobby is not required to provide 4 (out of 20) forms of birth control that are considered to be abortions. Employees of Hobby Lobby are free to use those 4 forms of birth control. Nobody has said anything about or restricted your reproductive rights. Lets get a grip on the facts. The fact that someone doesn't want to pay for something is far different than not being allowed to do something. Got it? You can take abortion-causing drugs. I am sorry if you feel so entitled that other people must pay for aspects of your life, such as abortions. I personally am offended that my tax dollars are used (via subsides to Obamacare) to pay for contraception and abortions. People should pay for their own recreational activities. And while we are on the subject, please don't equate ED drugs with abortion-causing drugs. ED is a disease that is treatable. Pregnancy is not a disease.

This has all come about because of the members of the Supreme Court and women would be wise to consider this in presidential elections. In my opinion, men should have absolutely no say in my reproductive rights. It is ironic that conservatives are forever talking about individual rights but hide behind religion like a shield.
