Personally, I think the SCOTUS made the right decision yesterday, July 8th. Their ruling:
Employers who are morally against
paying for birth control should not be obliged to do so, as previously mandated under
the Affordable Care Act.
However, and philosophically related, I do think that bakers should NOT be allowed to
discriminate against the LGBTQ community by refusing to sell their wedding cake products or other goods to them. If they are IN THE BUSINESS of a product,
they are obliged to sell it to whomever wishes to purchase it, regardless of
sexual orientation.
These two scenarios are different (enough) to me. One involves terminating what some people
consider “life.” The other is pure
discrimination against a faction of the populace with whom they philosophically disagree, and use their product as a sort of “weapon.”
Argue with me. :)
And thanks for posting and recommending.
