require Hobby Lobby to pay for all pregnancy and childcare expenses for employees who are denied contraceptive coverage.

The Supreme Court of the United States recently ruled on the behalf of individuals who claimed religious freedom as grounds to make scientifically erroneous claims regarding methods of contraception (i.e. that the Plan B pill causes abortion). This decision sets a legal precedent which allows Hobby Lobby (HL; a for-profit, religious corporation) to treat its female employees as second-class citizens by denying their rights to autonomously choose their own methods of birth control when some methods (as Justice Ginsburg noted) cost the monthly salary of a minimum wage worker. The childcare and pregnancy-related medical expenses of HL employees who desire contraceptive coverage should therefore be borne solely by HL instead of any government agency that relies on public taxes.
