Thousands of employees might even get laid off if company has to close because Obama wants to force company to provide contraception against the religious beliefs of a job creator.

Since when does the gov have power to force a company to pay for employee condoms and abortion pills?... what has this country come to?

Attorney: Hobby Lobby to defy morning-after pill insurance requirement while lawsuit's pending

Atty: Hobby Lobby won't offer morning-after pill

An attorney for Hobby Lobby Stores said Thursday that the arts and crafts chain plans to defy a federal mandate requiring it to offer employees health coverage that includes access to the morning-after pill, despite risking potential fines of up to $1.3 million per day.

Hobby Lobby and religious book-seller Mardel Inc., which are owned by the same conservative Christian family, are suing to block part of the federal health care law that requires employee health-care plans to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and similar emergency contraception pills.
