Monday, the Supreme Court by a 5 to 4 vote determined that the Hobby Lobby, Inc. chain of stores has the right to ignore a federal mandate under the Affordable Care Act to provide birth control coverage to women. The owners of the company believe, falsely, that certain kinds of female contraception are the equivalent of abortion, and since “life begins at conception,” that this is a sin. In other words, a corporation has sued and won the right to have a religious conscience, based on junk science.
