| Anti-Hobby Lobby Wisconsin dem sez motherhood not a Hobby |
| 2013-11-29 |
| [PJ Media] A Wisconsin Democrat said she's confident the Supreme Court will rule against Hobby Lobby in its protest of the contraceptive mandate because "motherhood is not a hobby." Bovine logic clearly at work. The challenge hinges on whether employers can opt out of the requirement because of the religious convictions of the business owners. Arguments will likely be heard in March with a decision in June. "I am just optimistic about this. I mean, enough already. The fact that they took Hobby Lobby's case with this cohort of 46 companies -- wooden furniture makers, automotive part makers, I think it says it all. I mean, motherhood is not a hobby. Women's health is not some arts and craft. I mean, nobody spends more money at the arts and crafts store than I do," Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) said this morning on MSNBC. Your 'angry bird stickers' order has arrived Gwen. "But I don't think those owners should, first of all, be able to decide whether or not I'm going to be a mother. And I think people would be surprised to know that great numbers of women are treated for endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts with birth control. And it should not be up to a for-profit company to decide whether or not you should have birth control available to you. Enough already," she added. The facts, right over her head they it went. Moore said she's so confident of victory "because I think that the First Amendment, we revere it." "It protects the rights of religious schools, churches, places of worship. And I think that the sanctity of that is something we all appreciate as Americans," she said. Posted under Seedy Politicians, only because there is not 'Stupid Politician' category. |

| #4 The facts, right over her head they went. Poor woman didn't even feel the breeze. In her defense, the gal is probably a product of the Wisconsin Teachers Union. |

| #1 Posted under Seedy Politicians, only because there is not 'Stupid Politician' category Actually, Ms. Moore qualifies for both and then some. Also one of Wisconsin's fine members (along with Sen. Baldwin) of the 'Congressional Progressive Caucus'. This little cadre was founded by the Democratic Socialists of America, so there's really no question about Ms. Moore's world view. |
