Contraceptives and the ACA: Going over the Mandate Cliff | Ilya Shapiro | Cato Institute: "If we’re to respect religious belief, why does the motive of those espousing them matter for whether the government gets to trample them? The owners of Hobby Lobby donate plenty to charity out of the profits they make, possibly having greater impact than many of the nonprofits that are (or will be) exempt. [Even] if they didn’t, however, this country was founded on ideals of religious liberty that went on to be enshrined in the First Amendment, so why would we just ignore them?"
"when health care (or anything) is socialized or treated as a public utility, we’re forced to fight for every “carve-out” of liberty."
"The more government controls — whether health care, education, or even marriage — the greater the battles over conflicting values."
