That News Corpse article provides interesting information.
Hobby Lobby pays millions of dollars to stock their shelves with cheap products made in China, a country where abortion is legal and is even provided by the government for free – when they aren’t forcing it on women who want their babies. It is impossible to accept that the company is unconditionally opposed to a voluntary form of preventive health care that obviates the need for an abortion, while supporting a system that encourages abortion outright. If Hobby Lobby can do business with China when the profit motive compels them to, they cannot simultaneously pretend that an American woman having access to an insurance policy that includes coverage for contraception is some sort of abomination against their Lord.
So now I’m wondering how many Tea Partiers and Focus on the Familyers and bishops and other such meddlers have closets and cabinets and garages bulging with shirts and toys and running shoes made in China. My guess? Most of them.
But, this would seem to entail that Hobby Lobby is run by hypocrites! That’s unpossible!
Religious liberty isn’t involved until profit isn’t.
That’s totally different because….
….reasons, I guess.
It’s the same as the Teapartiers demanding the gummint keep their grubby paws off of Medicare. Same level of hypocrisy.
Slacktivist commented on this back in December:
Shall we also keep hush about the glowing adoration of Israel and support of US funding for Israel when almost 20 000 abortions a year are performed legally, some of those financed by the government?
(I forgot to mention the other about equal number of abortions performed technically illegally but not prosecuted by the Israeli government)
Wait, it gets better:

So yeah, despite their outspoken religious objections, they’re still investing their employees’ money in companies that actually make the products they so loathe.
So yeah, this isn’t about abortion. This is about controlling the sexual behavior of their employees.
