Out: First Amendment protections guaranteeing
religious liberty. Oh, and the right to free association. In: The inalienable
right to have strangers pony up for your sex life.
Welcome to our new constitutional order, if some
major American newspapers and left-leaning sites have their way. In the view of
The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and left-wing blogs, Christian
business owners are trying to take
away the right to contraception, by asserting their right to
religious liberty.
With the Hobby Lobby case coming before the
Supreme Court Tuesday, March 25, the usual suspects of social liberalism have
been up in arms. Over 50 businesses have filed a brief against the HHS Mandate
which requires businesses with over 15 employees to provide employees with
insurance plans that cover all types of contraception, including
abortifacients. According to the media, the notion that pro-life business
owners would contest this is “absurd” “bigotry” and “religion run amok.”
So we get to hear from America’s most famous
consumer of birth control and Obama’s favorite
student Sandra Fluke, along with abortion activists Cecile Richards
of Planned Parenthood, NARAL President Ilyse Hogue. For good measure, the gay
left weighed in too.
