Hobby Lobby apparently supports the abortion industry…

2:50 PM EDT on April 2, 2014

As you probably know, Hobby Lobby's high profile lawsuit to overturn a key provision in Obamacare that requires employers to cover contraception in their employee health plans was recently heard before the US Supreme Court.

The Hobby Lobby line is that they should not be forced to cover emergency contraception because the company's owners – The Green family – thinks those drugs cause abortions, and even though those drugs do not cause abortions, being dumb and not understanding science violates their religious freedom. Or something like that.

As I pointed out last year, the lawsuit shows the hypocrisy of the company:

If Hobby Lobby is such a Christian, anti-abortion and holier-than-thou corporation, why is so much of their shitty, over-priced inventory manufactured in China? If the Green family really believed in the sanctity of life and religious freedom, they probably wouldn’t choose to do business with a country that denies basic human rights and carries out forced abortions. Then again, they need to make enough money to pay their $1.3 million fine, so I guess importing from China is okay. Anything for the sake of a cheap buck or wall ornament or glittery Styrofoam ball, right?

The hypocrisy train doesn't stop there.
