    They only had an objection to a couple of kinds of birth controls I believe, but again, it's their business. I don't see the "politics" of it, just a belief.

    This was a quote from a website talking about the ruling:

    Why did Hobby Lobby challenge the federal mandate to provide certain forms of birth prevention methods?

    The Hobby Lobby case has always been about one thing only: the Greens’ right to live out their faith in their business without government unduly intruding on their ability to do so. The Court agreed that the government violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by presenting the Greens with an unfair choice: violate their religious beliefs by paying for drugs and devices that could terminate life, or pay huge fines.

    This just shows your ignorance on this matter.

    HL was not suing to stop ALL birth control....just certain ones (i.e. "the day after pill")

    Not sure exactly what this is supposed to mean, you can clearly see my previous post saying I work for a mega currently as a lease op. Not sure what you think you've discovered?

    Or is it that you think mentioning whose trailer I pull disqualifies me from disagreeing with people?

    Actually, it doesn't... nowhere did I say ALL. My sentence is a quote from one of their supposed "statements" and they didn't make a distinction in "types" of birth control.

    Just sayin don't knock a company that a driver is happy at. Their morales have nothing to do with yours. I could easily knock on Swift but I didn't .

    Go for it, I have and do knock on swift. Just because I pull their trailer doesn't mean I have to like them, some things are a means to an end.

    The original point of my posts that is getting derailed, is that info was missing and I was mentioning my experience with what I found when I inquired.

    I also think I said earlier that HL is not for everyone.
    You have choices, too.

    If you don't agree with their practices, then don't pull our trailers, or work for them.

    I also didn't mention anything about it bc I didn't want this to turn into a political/religious topic.
