Hobby Lobby

[gsh]

Am I the only one who things the uproar about the Hobby Lobby case is overblown? It seems that Kennedy is basically holding up a neon sign saying "apply the same let the insurance company pay for the cost of womens contraception compromize" that fully religious organizations have. I mean Obama can direct HHS to do that in a week, and then the women get full coverage for the items in conflict with no addtional burden. Or is it that I've actually read the 90 page opinion, and haven';t been paying attention to the yammering in the news?

I now think I vastly underestimated the importance of this decision.

Easy to do when you don't have the necessary hardware to be affected by the decision. It's not your problem; I don't blame you for having a blind spot. Such is privilege. I do, however, wish you hadn't characterized an issue that affects only women in the way that you did, and in the way that countless men have from time immemorial- dismissively, because after all, it's not your problem.

What way did I characterize the issue?

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

You characterized discussion of a serious issue that affects women as "yammering," which, imo, is a fairly dismissive thing to do.

That was my error, I had only meant to describe the tv commentors as yammering, and phrased my self very poorly. My apologies for doing so.
