This is not about the civil rights of the owners of the Hobby Lobby Corporation. The owners have religious beliefs, and these beliefs should, and ARE respected and protected by our society. This is about the "civil rights" of a corporation. If a corporation is an entity created by some governing authority, not a human being,how can that entity that exists only on paper have ANY "rights"? Can a corporation attend church? Does the corporation have religious beliefs? Will a corporation spend eternity in hell for violating said beliefs?
This one will probably end up in the Supreme Court, and the outcome of this case will have profound and far-reaching consequences.
