>> Since the insurance is part of the employees compensation, it is sort of like a Muslim-owned business forbidding their employees to buy alcohol. That is a ridiculous analogy. A correct analogy would be that it is like a Muslim-owned business not being forced by government to buy their employees alcohol.

You do know that this is about "insurance" for an expense that costs less than $30 a month, don't you? You also know that the employees of Hobby Lobby are free to buy their own contraceptives if they want, with no restrictions, right?

It has however very like a Muslim-owned business refusing to buy alcohol for its employees. (Something which it should be able to do.) It would be like the Muslim-owned business forbidding their employees to buy alcohol if the policy was "buy these drugs and we will fire you", rather than "we don't want to pay for a policy that covers these drugs".
