if they are going to lie and mislead us they shouldn't claim they care it's repugnantly despicable and a staple in their playbook.



Fox News host Martha MacCallum described the pending Hobby Lobby case -- a challenge to the Affordable Care Act's requirement that all employer-sponsored health insurance cover contraceptives as part of preventive services -- by repeating four right-wing media myths in the span of 17 seconds. MacCallum adopted the false narrative of the religious owners of the for-profit, secular chain store and its supporters during the June 25 edition of America's Newsroom:

1. "The Hobby Lobby case, which challenges the Obamacare conception mandate that requires ..."

Fact: The Term "Contraception Mandate" Is A Misnomer

2. "... that employers provide ..."

Fact: Insurance Companies Cover Contraception, Not The Employers

3. "... free access to conception methods ..."

Fact: Birth Control Isn't "Free," It's A Paid-For Employee Benefit

4. "... as part of a comprehensive Obamacare health policy, includ[ed] in that would be some drugs which could trigger abortion."

Fact: Birth Control Is Not An Abortifacientjust an idea of what they are claiming in the name of the Lord that offends their religious senses.  

this is Hobby Looby's claim of violation of their religious imposition by ACA so are they that stupid or do they think we are, more important were they so sure the right wing scotus would vote in their favor that they made these ridiculously debunked reasons for denying their employee's health care, how Christian is denying one life saving assistance, don't ask them you'll get all of the above.
