[quote=SK in CV][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Scaredy: So, if I understand this correctly, because Hobby Lobby invests in those pharma companies that make the products they’re complaining about, what? They’re hypocrites? I’m guessing those selfsame pharma companies make a wide variety of products beyond just those cited, correct? Making that argument risible and a red herring.
Beyond that, Hobby Lobby had no issue with 16 of the 20 birth control products listed, just those four considered abortifacients. So, they’re not really attacking a woman’s right to economic participation, as per Ginsberg, are they?
This is cheap, partisan rhetoric to gin up the Democratic base and continue the notional “War on Women”, which at this point is just a war on common sense and, you know, facts.[/quote]
It IS hypocritical. They claim that can’t be part of paying for those 4 birth control devices because they claim (incorrectly) that those products lead to abortions. And then they invest in companies who make abortion products. How is that not hypocritical?
Do you really believe that there is no war on women?[/quote]
SK: I never said it wasn’t hypocritical. What I said was that I found comparing investment in a pharma company to investment in South Africa during apartheid to be something of a false equivalence.
As to the “War on Women”: Are we discussing the actual war on women, or the vote-getting scheme as practiced by the Democratic Party?
