Hobby Lobby Mission Statement

The Hobby Lobby store filed the case against the Secretary Department of Health and Human Services stating that the contraceptive method doesn’t match their religious faith. In fact, they were requested to pay the insurance fee. For them, they said that paying for contraception under the Affordable Care Act contradict the federal law protecting religious freedom. According to IIT Chicago College of Law (n.d.), the contraception requirement set by the government were against some religious policies.

Christian-owned arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby has been accused of hypocrisy after it was ordered to pay $3 million as fine over its role in an ancient artifact smuggling case. Hobby Lobby president Steve Green started collecting ancient artifacts in 2009 for a huge Bible museum to be opened in Washington. On July 5,the Oklahoma City-based corporation agreed to pay the ordered fine after it was embroiled in the smuggling of ancient clay tablets and other archaeological objects which could have been looted from Iraq, the Chicago Tribune details.

Hobby Lobby, I was on the fence about how I felt. I first completely agreed with the Green’s because it is their right to say no to something that goes totally against their beliefs. As the Greens believe that life begins at conception, these contraceptives are killing a baby in their minds and religion. They don’t think of it as a  fertilized egg, they think of it as a little human being that they are paying for their employees to get rid off. For a department to mandate that is totally wrong.

Should corporations be given religious freedom? The case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. has opened the door for corporations to deny all kinds of protections and laws to their employees. What if the corporation in question was a car insurance company, and they did not want to cover their employees birth control? Would they still hold the same position if a citizen (or a whole state) claimed religious exemption to being forced to purchase car insurance?

A recent federal lawsuit has been filed by the American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) challenging the constitutionality of three provisions of the Setonia’s Abortion Laws. The three provisions ACLU are challenging are as follows (McCauliff): • Law which prevents state health officials from renewing or issuing licenses to abortion clinics located with 2000 feet of an elementary school (McCauliff). • Law which requires physicians performing abortions to complete 10 hours annually of continuing medical education on abortion procedures (McCauliff). • Law which requires abortion providers to give every patient a copy of her medical records, regardless of whether the patient requests such records (McCauliff).

Opinion: I believe with the ruling. I am on the same page with Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. I agree 100% with his writing for the court, which stated that family-owned companies like Hobby Lobby should not be enforced to recompense for insurance coverage for contraception for workers over their religious oppositions. I believe that this ruling is accurate because it means that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 is efficient and does what it says that it does.

Organizational decisions differ from individual consumer decisions in the following ways: the manner in which products are purchased, what products are purchased, and the involvement of people in the purchasing decisions. Organizational buyers are defined as “people who purchase goods and services on behalf of companies for the companies’ use in manufacturing, distribution, or resale” (Solomon, 2017). The buyers have a complex job in ensuring that the items that are purchased on behalf of the company is in correlation of past demands and future projections of necessity. For example, an organizational buyer for Hobby Lobby would have to ensure that fall, and Halloween products are purchased at the correct volume ( basing off of the previous

Burwell case, regarding the passage of certain aspects of Obamacare. His remarks were nothing short of fierce criticism and sheer disbelief. Scalia claimed, “‘The Court 's decision reflects the philosophy that judges should endure whatever interpretive distortions it takes in order to correct a supposed flaw in the statutory machinery. That philosophy ignores the American people 's decision to give Congress "all legislative Powers" enumerated in the Constitution’” (Vogue et al.).

They were arrested and charged. The Cantwells then said it was a violation of the 14th Amendment. The court found them to be innocent based on the First and Fourteenth Amendments because it violated due process. This case contradicts because it shows the law questioning any form of religious practice while also accepting free exercise of religion. The Bill of Rights is separated where only some rights are applied to state

The Roe v. Wade decision had a profound impact on American politics, polarizing much of the nation into pro-life and pro-choice camps. Despite significant public backing in the early 1970s, there was widespread opposition, particularly among those associated with the Christian Right. The Christian evangelicals, who had largely been silent in politics before the 1960s, saw abortion as a threat to traditional values and began to organize against Roe. Members of the Republican Party’s New Right approached Jerry Falwell and encouraged him to create a “Moral Majority” organization that would mobilize conservative Christians to become politically active in the hope of capturing Congress and the White House (McKeegan 1992). United in the belief that all innocent life should be protected under the U.S. Constitution, these two groups formed an alliance that would dominate the Republican Party and revolutionize American politics.

In 1982 the state of Pennsylvania passed the Abortion Control Act which put new restrictions on getting an abortion. Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against the state stating that the Abortion Control Acts went against the supremes court decision made in Roev. Wade case. Some laws from the Abortion Control Acts were found constitutional and passed as laws by the supreme court. Some laws that passes are states could not ban abortions before the "viability" point.

Planned Parent Hood Funding Planned Parent Hood is funded by multiple different ways, by donations, money that they profit off from there services and federal tax dollars. There has always been an argument between are politicians rather there should be a cut in government funding towards Planned Parenthood and many Americans would argue the fact that rather their tax payer money should or shouldn’t fund Planned Parent, personally I think it should be founded by federal tax dollars. But, what really is Planned Parenthood, and what are American tax payers’ money paying for?

Chick-Fil-A Case Study Despite being a fast-food restaurant, Chick-Fil-A is widely known for its exceptional customer service. Part of the reason they have incredible customer service is because they have made it their mission to “get better before getting bigger.” Even though Chick-Fil-A has thousands of less stores than its competitors, it has made business all about the customer and it is paying off in large profits and continual growth. Chick-Fil-A’s customer service plan is two-fold: to go the “second mile” and to give the customers something to do.

Such as the Lorillard Tobacco Co. v. Reilly case which banned tobacco advertising. This decision was made even though it infringed on the corporations right to free speech (Hudson). I agree with this decision to ban tobacco advertising regardless of the fact that it is unconstitutional. This Supreme Court ruling refutes the validity of the argument that the individual right of free speech in advertising being more important than the common good, in this case the common good attributes to public health. It is clear these prescription drugs are a hazard to public health.
