The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Monday that family-owned
corporations like Hobby Lobby cannot be forced to pay for
insurance coverage for contraception for its employees if their
bosses have sincere objections to certain methods of
contraception is being hailed in some circles as a victory for
religious freedom.  It certainly isn’t a victory for the
religious or medical freedom of females employed by companies
who choose not to provide contraception coverage. What form of
birth control a woman chooses to use should be a decision
between her and her doctor, and between her and her God. Her
employer should not have a say.  While Monday’s 5-4 decision
does not affect most birth control pills, condoms, sponges or
sterilizations, it does apply to morning-after pills and
hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs). The company’s owners
believe that those forms of contraception cause abortion.
