OKLAHOMA CITY – A federal judge Monday rejected Hobby Lobby Stores Inc.'s request to block part of the federal health care overhaul that requires the arts and craft supply company to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after and week-after birth control pills.
In a 28-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton denied a request by Hobby Lobby to prevent the government from enforcing portions of the health care law mandating insurance coverage for contraceptives the company's Christian owners consider objectionable.
The Oklahoma City-based company and a sister company, Mardel Inc., sued the government in September, claiming the mandate violates the owners' religious beliefs. The owners contend the morning-after and week-after birth control pills are tantamount to abortion because they can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in a woman's womb. They also object to providing coverage for certain kinds of intrauterine devices.

im the one that posted the 1223pm. when that story first broke, you really didnt hear anything about it.
now its the front page as a natural gas explosion. fish stink.
for any business this is wrong for the government and now a judge to mandate this on any level. it's NOT their business.
The Constitution says Congress will make no law...
223 if I'm an employee who is getting putting a portion of my paycheck into that insurance fund, I don't need you telling me what coverage I can get.
Yet 7:17 doesn't mind that the company is footing most of the bill for something they dont want.
