Who? Hobby Lobby
What? A challenge to freedom of religion stated in the 1st Amendment, where the Hobby Lobby owners wanted the same exemptions as churches to not allow the Contraceptive Mandate in religious for-profit companies.
When? Thursday, July 24, 2014
Where? Over 600 Hobby Lobby stores nationwide, including one in Dublin, CA.
Why Does It Matter? The Hobby Lobby decision by the Supreme Court matters because it concerns women's right of choice, and whether religious companies can impose their beliefs on their employees. This article argues that if the government makes an accommodation for religious corporations as it has for nonprofit religious organizations, then religious owners of for-profit companies will be protected, and women employees will be fully covered, creating a "win-win" situation. Because of decisions like Hobby Lobby's to not support women's rights and the Contraceptive Mandate, many people with opposing opinions refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby stores, and may go on strikes against stores like Hobby Lobby as well.
