Sheldon Richman on Why the Hobby Lobby Decision Doesn’t Go Far Enough

As far as
it went, the Supreme Court generally got it right in the Hobby
Lobby Obamacare contraception case. Unfortunately it didn’t go
nearly far enough. The court ruled that “closely held corporations”
whose owners have religious convictions against certain kinds of
contraceptives cannot be forced to pay for employee coverage for
those products. Sheldon Richman writes that he wishes the court
could have addressed the idea that no one has a right to force
others to pay for their contraception or anything else and that
everyone has a right to refuse to pay if asked.
