Scandalous. The allegedly deeply religious and committed family who runs Hobby Lobby is so strongly opposed to alleged abortifacient birth control devices and medications that they have invested millions of dollars of their employees' retirement funds in the very companies who manufacture and sell these evil products. Excerpts:
<<<When Obamacare compelled businesses to include emergency contraception in employee health care plans, Hobby Lobby, a national chain of craft stores, fought the law all the way to the Supreme Court. The Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate, the company's owners argued, forced them to violate their religious beliefs. But while it was suing the government, Hobby Lobby spent millions of dollars on an employee retirement plan that invested in the manufacturers of the same contraceptive products the firm's owners cite in their lawsuit.

Several of the mutual funds in Hobby Lobby's retirement plan have holdings in companies that manufacture the specific drugs and devices that the Green family, which owns Hobby Lobby, is fighting to keep out of Hobby Lobby's health care policies: the emergency contraceptive pills Plan B and Ella, and copper and hormonal intrauterine devices.>>>
And in the meantime, Hobby Lobby is oh-so-scrupulous about avoiding other business practices that fo against the grain of their belief system:
<<<In their Supreme Court complaint, Hobby Lobby's owners chronicle the many ways in which they avoid entanglements with objectionable companies. Hobby Lobby stores do not sell shot glasses, for example, and the Greens decline requests from beer distributors to back-haul beer on Hobby Lobby trucks.>>>
Looks like they blew it on the retirement fund investments!
