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 was in Arizona, and the one news source I saw was Fox news, which I think was fairly described by 'yammering'. I was at fault for not being clear that not all the discussion was yammering, only the 15 minutes I saw while I had breakfast was.

Ok. The fact that Fox News is in no way actual news notwithstanding, please be aware that when you use the word "yammering" to characterize discussion of womens' issues, you're playing into a long history of sexist language that diminishes womens' voices. Now, done for the moment, as typing on my phone is terrible and I want to throw the damn thing at a wall.

I will attempt to not repeat my error.
