I am sure there are some savvy investors here.
If my 401K invests in Hobby Lobby, can I ask them to pull my money out?
TY.
JSP.

There is no chance any 401(k) investment fund can have holdings in that company.

An employer that believes taking away contraceptive rights for women that work for them, while all the while letting men have a vasectomy and use Viagra? Can you say double standard?

I find myself in a quandary here.  I believe in a woman's right to contraceptives.  I also believe in freedom of religion.  Here the two are at odds.  I haven't seen Hobby Lobby telling anyone not to use contraceptives, but just doesn't want to pay for them.  I can't support trying to force owners of a privately owned company to pay for something medically not necessary, unlike if it were publicly traded.  Not attacking anyone for their opinion, I respect their right to disagree.
Now, if Hobby Lobby tried telling their employees they couldn't use contraceptives, I'd back action against them.  Here I just see trying to make the owners convert, same thing as Muslim Extremists do on a smaller scale.  The United States was founded on the principals that people did not have to believe the same things.

Discrimination is action that denies social participation or human rights to categories of people based on prejudice. This includes treatment of an individual or group based on their actual or perceived membership in a certain group or social category, "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated". It involves the group's initial reaction or interaction, influencing the individual's actual behavior towards the group or the group leader, restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to another group, leading to the exclusion of the individual or entities based on logical or irrational decision making.

You are mistaken, completely.  I fought for the rights of all Americans.  Trying to force a FAMILY owned business to pay for something against their religious belief is contrary to freedom.  If the business was publicly owned, as I stated I would support boycotting the store.   Hobby Lobby does not tell their employees not to use contraceptives, they just don't want to pay for something against their religion.  I fully agree with a woman's right to use contraceptives.

Let me tell you something.    Your religion is between you and your family.    You cannot force your religion on other unwilling people and those who don't believe in it.    For some women contraception is medically necessary, ask an OB/GYN.    In this case, the company has no problem covering Viagra, Cialis and Vasectomy!    How come.   Are these medically necessary?

I am 101% with you HCG.   I am a strong believer in individual freedom and choice.   Religious freedom is letting people follow their own AND NOT FORCE your beliefs on others.

You are dead wrong Mr.   Religious freedom does not give you the permission to force your religious beliefs on others who are unwilling to think or believe in what you do.

the double standard here is people say their employer has no business in what goes on in their bedroom but they demand their employer pays them for what goes on in their bedroom.
  Hobby Lobby only declines to pay for certain contraceptions. No one is denied anything. Are these meds illegal? Go buy your own. Or don't work there.  

I agree with ALMOST everything that has been said here, except for this: I was employed for decades, and Viagra was NEVER covered by any insurance that my employer provided. I recently went on Medicare, and Viagra is NOT covered by the primary government policy or by the secondary private insurance I purchased. Pointing out that men get Viagra coverage while women don't get contraceptives is inaccurate and, frankly, sounds a little petulant. Hey, ... I'm on your side!!

However, they do pay for Viagra, Cialis !     So Hobby Lobby is interested in what goes on in their employees bedrooms, LMAO.

Did your employer use religion to deny Viagra or is the Federal Government using religion to deny it?    You are way off target on the subject.

Read my comment again. Group insurance policies don't usually cover Viagra. In fact, I know of none that will. Maybe somewhere there's a Cadillac policy for executives that does, but I've never seen it. If you know of one that does, let me know. Let us all know.

None of us want to read it here

Don't read!

Jean your question was never answered. LOL

Unless you have a "selective reading" disorder, I answered her question the first time.

Hobby Lobby is not forcing their religious beliefs on it's employees.  It is wrong to try to force them to go against their religion!  Not once has Hobby Lobby told any of their employees not to use contraceptives.

Again,  Hobby Lobby is not telling anyone not to use contraceptives.  They do not want to go against their religion and pay for it!  If the company was publicly traded, then it would be a whole different story.  You are talking about suppressing their religious rights, I am not talking about forcing anyone to follow a religion.

letting people follow their own AND NOT FORCE your beliefs on others." So why are you FORCING your beliefs on Hobby Lobby? Hobby Lobby is NOT denying anyones rights. You should read the entire case before making ignorant comments.

Well what if they.were a Muslim corporation enforcing their religious beliefs......thus slippery slope the dissent pointed out.   A corporation is a legal fiction, it is a terrible decision.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. No one forced the HobLobs to form a corporation and go into a business that hires people. When they chose to do that, they tacitly agreed to obey the various labor laws implied by this decision. Now they want to impose their beliefs on their employees (based on some very bad theology, but we can skip that for another day). HobLob went to court arguing that their corporate religious “freedom” superceded the rights of their employees who held different beliefs.

If everyone follows your advice how long do you think the very people you claim to support will have the jobs and the paychecks they depend on to support their families?  
Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood will continue to provide contraceptive coverage, they were only exempt from paying for drugs that terminate pregnancy not the ones that prevent it.

Oh, the employees will still get their birth control, but now you and I will pay for it instead of the HobLobs. Note that this is a corporation based mostly on reselling imported junk from China, where birth control and abortions are often mandatory. The HobLobs hate abortifacients when they cost them money, but their principles disappear when profits are involved.

Thanks for making his point.  

There have been lots of articles discussing this specifically.  I've attached one from Forbes; I chose the Forbes article because it is not a liberal magazine like most of the other sources I found (the conservative sources conveniently leave out this little detail).  

I think Jean's a guy. His name is a play on the name of a French existential philosopher (a male one).

Thanks, Natasha, for the very informative references. But this is the Florida Board, and allow me to quote from the source you provided:
