\b \'93A federal judge has rejected Hobby Lobby store request to block part of the federal
health care law that requires employers to provide insurance coverage for the morning
after and the week after pill.\'94 \b0 \
\ \
\b \'93That is a Christian owned family. A family that is devoutly Christian, the Green
family, they\'92ve got 13,000 employees in 41 states in 500 stores.\'94
\b0 \ \
\
\b \'93All they\'92re asking is for a narrow exemption from the healthcare law so that
they don\'92t have to cover drugs that they believe cause abortions.\'94
\b0 \ \
\ But the judge denied Hobby Lobby\'92s request\'97
ruling that Obamacare only exempts religious organizations, which Hobby Lobby is not. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

\ \
\b \'93\'85Hobby Lobby and Mardel [its partner company] are not religious organizations...
Plaintiffs have not cited, and the court has not found, any case concluding that secular,
for-profit corporations such as Hobby Lobby and Mardel have a constitutional right to
the free exercise of religion.\'94 \b0 \

\b \cf2 \'93Every American, including family business owners like the Greens, should be
free to live and do business according to their religious beliefs...It is by God\'92s
grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured...Therefore we seek to honor God by operating the company
in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.\'94 \b0 \

Hobby Lobby plans to immediately appeal the ruling.}
