In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision last week, Republicans have fallen over themselves to convince us this wasn't another salvo in the War on Women.
In a 5-4 decision no female justice supported, the High Court said closely held corporations have the right to deny employees birth-control coverage.
Cue the right-wing's justifications, which range from foolhardy to outright falsehoods:
- Hobby Lobby still covers 16 other forms of birth control. That's great, but it excludes some big choices for women, like IUDs and emergency contraception. The court has since issued an emergency injunction for a Christian college, which opens the door to institutions denying all contraception coverage.
