Hobby Lobby Says Up Yours To Obama, Liberals

From Fox News: Hobby Lobby may have just bought itself a few extra months as it battles against the ObamaCare mandate that it and other employers provide employees insurance covering emergency contraceptives.
An attorney for the Christian-owned company says the company has found a way to delay the effective date of the mandate, and in turn avoid the fines that would be imposed for not complying -- at least for now. 
Peter Dobelbower said in a statement Thursday that the company will shift the plan year for employee health insurance that will delay by several months the Jan. 1 effective date of the requirement. He said the company would continue to fight the mandate. 
"Hobby Lobby does not provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs in its health care plan," he said. "Hobby Lobby will continue to vigorously defend its religious liberty and oppose the mandate and any penalties."
Hobby Lobby sued to overturn the mandate on grounds that it violates the religious beliefs of founder and CEO David Green and his family. The Greens say requiring insurance for what is known as "morning-after" and "week-after" pills forces them to either violate their religious beliefs or face hefty fines. Some consider those pills to be tantamount to an abortion-inducing drug.

This end around ObamaCare will allow time for the case to be heard before the Supreme Court, or at least, delay the fines, if they start coming.
And the best part is, the employees will still be getting their health insurance, which was still going to happen, despite what some stupid lefty bloggers thought.
So, good for Hobby Lobby and be sure to congratulate them when they win their court case against ObamaCare.
