Hobby Lobby decides its religious principles are worth $1.3M a day

12/29/2012

Hobby Lobby must be banking on a big spike in the sales of needlepoint kits to its anti-birth control clientele.

That could result in fines of up to $1.3 million a day, but general counsel Kyle Duncan insisted that, "They're not going to offer coverage for abortion-inducing drugs." Even if science has shown the morning-after pill doesn't induce abortions, and even if the fines cost more than coverage would. [Source]
