What part of a woman's right to reproduce is being taken away or reduced? And are we really supposed to listen to a gay guy who's in a relationship where reproduction is not possible?

What a bunch of friggin whiners.

Quote:Actor and human rights activist George Takei condemned the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling Monday as a "stunning set-back for women's reproductive rights" in a post Tuesday on his personal blog, That Blog Is So Takei.

"Hobby Lobby is not a church. It's a business -- and a big one at that. Businesses must and should be required to comply with neutrally crafted laws of general applicability," Takei wrote. "Your boss should not have a say over your healthcare. Once the law starts permitting exceptions based on 'sincerely held religious beliefs' there's no end to the mischief and discrimination that will ensue."

In a 5-4 decision Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that closely held corporations can opt out of providing contraception coverage if it violates their sincere religious beliefs, a ruling Takei viewed as potentially skewed by the plaintiffs' Christian faith.

"In this case, the owners happen to be deeply Christian; one wonders whether the case would have come out differently if a Muslim-run chain business attempted to impose Sharia law on its employees," Takei said.

The "Star Trek" actor also criticized the craft store chain for spending millions of dollars on employee retirement plans that are invested in a variety of manufacturers that produce the same contraceptive products the company protested in its lawsuit.

"It also buys most of its inventory from China, where forced abortions are common," Takei added. "The hypocrisy is galling."

Takei urged readers to boycott Hobby Lobby and other for-profit businesses that deprive their employees of health coverage based on invasive religious beliefs.

"We are a nation that respects religious beliefs, but also the right not to have those beliefs imposed upon you by others. Our personal beliefs stop at the end of our noses," Takei concluded. "The only way such companies ever learn to treat people with decency and tolerance is to hit them where it counts -- in their pocketbooks."

He is right about one thing...your boss shouldn't have a say over your healthcare. But, he forgot to mention that Hobby Lobby doesn't have a say. They offer a healthcare package for employees. The employees DO NOT have to accept that package. The can pay out of pocket for what they want. But, when you want someone else to pay, then why are complaining when they want a say in what is provided. It's asking your parents for money for your wedding and then getting mad because they want to have input.

He has every right to express his opinion. However, I'm not sure why I care about the musings of a man who makes a living by playing make believe.

Someone please twitter Sulu and let him know that, no matter how many times he's pounded in the ass, he will not need to take the abortion pill.

Yes, he's/she's the wife in the relationship. How they came to that conclusion is beyond me, though.

Sulu and the libs have it wrong. The government should not be forcing companies to provide government mandated insurance.

It's all part of this faux-civil rights thing they have going on.

You wouldn't understand, you're not a liberal!

It cannot be argued that Sulu doesn't put a different slant on things.

earth to sulu: a fetus will not gestate in his colon.
