If Hobby Lobby’s owners win then hypothetically any Orthodox Jewish, Muslim or Hindu owner could prevent their company’s health insurance plans covering any prescriptions for medications containing gelatin.

This is a very dangerous road to go down.

I agree. It’s not only offensive to reason, but from an immediate, practical viewpoint, the entire capitalist system depends on corporations being NEUTRAL. In a functioning free market, all consumers, employees, and producers must play by the same rules. Can you imagine how dysfunctional things would be if where you work and where you buy things was affected by how the company’s owners felt about your personal lifestyle? Well, I just put myself through college, got a degree in physics, would love to work on nanotech at IBM, but I see their insurance doesn’t cover any medical procedure that involves stem cells.
