Reason and Rights?

Supreme Court MALES in a five-to-four decision

Ruled that SOME corporations could choose

WHICH types of contraception

Through health insurance an employee could use.

 

One person’s beliefs having precedence over another’s

Is a message coming from the decision.

No matter how you feel about the issue,

The results will lead to greater division.

 

In observing the case, one really must wonder

If there's not a glaring CONTRADICTION

With Hobby Lobby’s pushing forward

A complaint disguised as religious conviction.

 

Certain types of contraception

Are the targets of said corporation.

But there seem to be a double standard

And a highly questionable justification:

 

They want to limit women’s access

To prescriptions on religious grounds,

But the greater reality discloses how

Ludicrous their reasoning sounds.

 

For Hobby Lobby, selling cheap products 

Purchased from China is no disgrace,

Despite the fact that in China each year

MILLIONS of abortions are taking place.
