So their religious belief is that these contraceptives prevent fertilized eggs from reaching the uterus?

I wonder what verse that came from...

My sincerely held religious belief is that blood transfusions let the devil into your body and condemn you to hell. Good thing I don't have to pay for that. Oh, but wait, yes I do.

It's a god awful ruling by the way. I'm reading it now. Just lol.

Yeah that's not a religious belief. They made a scientific distinction between two types of contraceptives, except that distinction doesn't actually exist.

I thought the "pork of the sea" metaphor was quite apt.

So, to be clear, just about anything is a religious belief, including beliefs based entirely upon science, so long as the corporation or person says so. Gotcha.

I didn't say it had anything to do with corporate personhood. All I said is that any belief qualifies as a religious belief, even if it is entirely based upon a scientific understanding of an issue. That must be the case, because Hobby Lobby presented a scientific argument that is also horribly wrong.

That is how Hobby Lobby can support contraceptive use but not support these contraceptives: they believe these drugs prevent fertilized eggs from reaching the uterus, which is definitively a scientific and not religious belief. The fact that they are wrong is thus what makes it a religious belief, presumably.
