See, and people totally misunderstand Plan B too. 99% of the time, it works by preventing ovulation. RARELY it works by preventing implantation. And ditto with the IUD with hormones. If they understood Biology... ARGGGGGG.

How can they come to understand something they refuse to believe? I'm so glad I'm a Renaissance women, I get to believe not only in religion but science as well.

What You Need to Know About the Hobby Lobby Billionaires:

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics...-billionaires/


First of all, I don't NEED to know anything about them.

Quote:
“Our family is overjoyed by the Supreme Court’s decision. Today the nation’s highest court has re-affirmed the vital importance of religious liberty as one of our country’s founding principles,” said Barbara Green, co-founder of Hobby Lobby. “The court’s decision is a victory, not just for our family business, but for all who seek to live out their faith. We are grateful to God and to those who have supported us on this difficult journey.”
Yes, you're helping people live out their faith… as long as they believe the same things as you. Ugh.

And the irony in her statement about "religious liberty" is so obvious and laughable.

Quote:
Green’s ambitions are not small in scale. In an interview with Forbes’ Brian Solomon, Green said, “I want to know that I have affected people for eternity. I believe I am. I believe once someone knows Christ as their personal savior, I’ve affected eternity. I matter 10 billion years from now.”
This guy sounds like a rich, fanatical, egotistical d-bag.

I hate when people hide behind religion. They partly do that because they think it makes them unable to be questioned and challenged. If someone claims to be driven by--and fulfilling the will of--a higher power, who would question a higher power?

Green should've just said "I wanted to impact society and impact history. This decision is big and instrumental for generations to come."
