Huckabee Challenges Obama’s Contraceptive Mandate With ‘Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day’ — Are You Taking Part?

Jan. 4, 2013 4:45pm Billy Hallowell

You may remember that, at the heat of the debate over Chick-fil-A and its stance over gay marriage last summer, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee emerged as a prominent figure who offered support to the fast-food chain. His “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” brought hundreds of thousands of supporters out to take a stand in favor of the embattled evangelical-led company. Huckabee is following up on the success of his Chick-fil-A endeavor by promoting a new initiative — “Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day.”

On Thursday, the Fox News host took to his Facebook page and web site to urge supporters to stand behind the craft store chain in its ongoing battle against the Obama administration’s controversial contraceptive mandate. As TheBlaze previously reported, Hobby Lobby is refusing to comply with the president’s morning after pill mandate, risking potential fines of up to $1.3 million per day.

Due to the fact that the craft chain and religious bookseller Mardel Inc. (both owned by the Green family, evangelicals who stand opposed to the mandate) are not faith-based institutions, they are not exempt from the government’s force-of-hand on the contraceptive front. Late last month, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied Hobby Lobby’s request for an inunction on the measure while a lawsuit is ongoing, meaning that the company has no protection against potential federal ramifications.

Now, Huckabee is coming alongside the company — and urging others to do the same. Here’s what the former governor wrote about “Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day” on his official web site:

Hobby Lobby is a respected and very successful business that is privately owned by a family who have sought to honor God in their personal lives and in their business. Their generosity to missions, to the relief of poverty around the world, to Christian education, and to their employees is legendary and exemplifies the kind of business principle that should be applauded and appreciated.

Instead they are having to fight in court for the most basic American rights of freedom of religion and freedom of speech. The Obama administration insists that companies like Hobby Lobby bow their knees to the God of government health care mandates, even when those mandates are a clear and direct contradiction to their personal beliefs of faith. [...]

We will stand with them in their resistance. For we will either stand together or fall together. I choose to stand. What about you?

Huckabee encouraged those interested in taking part to show their devotion to the company by logging on to StandWithHobbyLobby.com, an online initiative that was launched by a man named Joe Grabowski. As of 4:00 p.m. E.T. on Friday, there were more than 40,000 Americans signed on to join in on the “Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day.”

Supporting the company, though, goes beyond simply joining a Facebook initiative. Grabowski explains: “On Saturday, January 5th, all Americans who value freedom of religion and oppose the HHS Mandate’s unfair impositions upon religious individuals and corporate entities are called upon to show their support for Hobby Lobby by shopping either at their local retail Hobby Lobby store or online.”

A White House petition has also been launched in an effort to spawn reaction from the Obama administration. Supporters of the online effort are encouraging the government to exempt Hobby Lobby from the mandate.

  “then they won’t have to pay for the murder of babies in the womb.”
  
  Clarification: Obamacare does not cover RU-486, the abortion pill. The emergency contraceptives it does cover such as Plan B, the ‘Morning After Pill,” do not abort. It was once thought to prevent implantation, but subsequent studies found that it only prevents fertilization of an egg. Implantation can and does still occur (hence why it needs to be used ASAP, and why it’s only 80% effective; a fertilized egg still has the “natural” ~50% chance to implant).

  @Locked The morning after pill is the same thing as abortion. Its terminating a life. Its playing God. If you don’t want to get pregnant, use a condom, birth control or bettery yet, don’t have sex.

  You also realize that many birth control pills have abortifacients in them, right? Namely Ortho-Cyclen and Ortho Tri-Cyclen…
  
  The definition of an abortifacient is a chemical which prevents a human (embryo) from attaching to the uterine wall.
  
  You have a human being… one cell; ready to attach and forma placenta. However, these drugs thicken the endometrium which prevents the child (embryo) from attaching.

  “The morning after pill is the same thing as abortion.”
  
  No it’s not. Please reread what I wrote. Plan B does not stop implantation as was once thought; it stops only fertilization. Implantation can still occur if fertilization has happened.
  
  If someone is telling you that Plan B prevents implantation they are either using outdated information, or lying for an emotional appeal.

  Locked, you are either wrong or dishonest. Plan B makes the endometrium inhospitable to the already conceived embryo, which then dies for lack of sustenance. You say: “a fertilized egg still has the “natural” ~50% chance to implant.” Where did you get such a factoid? Probably from the same sphincter you pulled your “Plan B” crud.

  “Plan B makes the endometrium inhospitable to the already conceived embryo”
  
  No, it does not. It only prevents fertilization. It was once thought to stop implantation, but further testing has shown that this was an incorrect assumption.
  
  Here is an article from June 2012 talking about it: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2012/06/06/morning-after-pills-dont-actually-keep-fertilized-eggs-from-implanting/#.UOoQVm-Ckeg
  
  Here’s the quote:
  “Plan B was approved by the FDA in 1999. In the last 13 years, research into Plan B’s mechanism has advanced, and scientists are now able to say with some certainty that the drug works by delaying ovulation, keeping the egg and the sperm from being in the same place at the same time, so the egg is never fertilized. Women who take Plan B after they’ve ovulated still get pregnant. And in lab tests using cultured cells, the drug does not keep a fertilized egg from attaching to a layer of uterine cells.”

  Why so much fighting over the mechanism of action of Plan B and the 5 day after pill “ela”? The issue here is hobby lobby refusing to comply with that awful piece of unconstitutional garbage Obamacare. I say hats off to them because they are taking a fearless stand. I could care less what their view on emergency contraception is.

  “Why so much fighting over the mechanism of action of Plan B and the 5 day after pill “ela”? ”
  
  Because the reason Hobby Lobby is refusing to comply is based upon their belief that Plan B causes an abortion by not allowing a fertilized egg to implant. That belief is scientifically wrong. It’s the equivalent of saying “I think cough drops cause AIDS, so I refuse to carry insurance for my employees that covers cough drops.” It’s not even a religious belief: it’s the misapplication and unscientific belief of people who are lying about their opposition to legislation they don’t like.
  
  Interestingly, lying is also a sin.

Why should anyone be forced to do something that goes against their religion? You who are criticizing Hobby Lobby don’t get all uppity when ********* have their religious exceptions, why not?

Oh, and by the way…the obamacare bill specifically addresses ********* and exempts them from obamacare. Is that okay with you who hate someone exercising their rights of choice? If so,why is it okay for them not to be forced into complying with obamacare, and Hobby Lobby is being forced?

  Their houses of worship? Yes, the same as all Christian churches are. Businesses owned or operated by Muslims? No, they do not have an exemption. Amish businesses? Only Old Older Amish is mentioned as a specific exemption. So, if you find an Amish hardware business with more than 50 employees, perhaps.
  
  The individuals? No, Muslims are not exempt and need to carry insurance. In Amish sects, as said above, only Old Order Amish is exempt.

  @Locked Regarding religious exemptions, folks are required to submit an application for exemption, then it is evaluated by the DHHS staff and the individual is notified of the decision. I would expect them to be somewhat reasonable regarding the Amish. Then again, “reasonable” is not an adjective to be applied toward many government entities. The potential is there for rejection by the DHHS. When the government has the power to stand as judge regarding your religious freedom and conscience, that is the start of a dictatorial system that I believe most of us would not want to see in this country… Is this the fundamental transformation that was promised 4 years ago?

  Since Marbury V. Madison, the SCotUS is indeed the final arbiter of the Constitution. If you don’t like how the country has run for over 200 years (or somehow think it has run differently), then you should suggest an alternative or seek additional information about history.

  Mormon’s are allowed to take medicines with alcohol in them. They avoid recreational drinking.
  
  The other two examples seem pertinent but they aren’t as the companies aren’t required to provide those services with their healthcare offerings, in theory they could choose to provide a coverage that doesn’t have them.
  
  Hobby Lobby and others are protesting that as company’s that are ‘religiously based’ but owned by religious families (In-n-Out comes to mind as being in that group as well) are being mandated, no matter WHAT coverage they choose to offer, to provide Birth Control (or abortion) support.
  
  They aren’t getting the ‘opt out’ choice. It would be one thing if they had a CAFE style plan that let the employees choose their corporate coverage or get an off-setting amount to pay for the Obamacare penalty and go on Obamacare. That would be a legitimate counter to this, but Obamacare doesn’t allow for that, the Birth Control/Abortion part is mandatory regardless of what coverage you offer.

Just tell Barry to sign Hobby Lobby one of those thousands of waivers that he signed for all the
friendly companies that contributed to his campaign. Just ask GE how they got their waiver.
If he doesn’t sign Hobby Lobby a waiver, take him to court for discrimination.

Perhaps we should get a copy of that waiver, print a few million of them and simply put all of our names on one. Someone put it on the internet. We can photoshop it like the White House did

  Since you’re not literate in history, let me help you out…guns weren’t invented until at least a thousand years later. But, a sword was definitely suggested.
  
  BTW, who or what represents an X in your post??? Surely, you are not Jewish and insult the one who cared enough for YOU to take your sins upon himself, and die in your place?

  Greed is everywhere and I would include the government in that. Can we pick and choose the greed we want to get rid of without redefining what greed is? Can we choose the compassion we wish to show while ignoring other causes? We are choking and going bankrupt over our own greed. Look how much they wanted for the Sandy relief bill. The perfect storm has been met with the perfect storm of greed and compassion. Shame died a long time ago. How can we even argue that this is wrong when we don’t seem to be able to define, except in political terms, what is right and wrong?

  EN.
  Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays for worship and to let their employees have time with their families…a huge shopping day which is a huge profit loss for the company. They close early so their employees can be home earlier at night with their families. Another profit loss. They pay their full-time employees, starting, a minimum of $13 an hour. They give up plenty of profit, and they give plenty of profit. You liberals have no tolerance for anything Christian, no matter what they do, so consider yourselves hypocrites and phonies with that so-called inclusive ideology.

  @ Enciinom or is it Encinom –
  Great – Enema (aka Enciinom/Encinom) is back! Oh, and with a new user name…again!!! How convenient. I am surprised you still frequent our place these past several years. Is it hard to breathe with your head up your “arse”? For those of you unfamiliar with this quack, ignore “it”. There is never any relevance to “it’s” comments! Hey “Enema”, You still have the Rod Serling “Fathead” on your wall?

Been sick since Christmas but will be there, Sotomayor is nothing but a “rubber stamp” for Obama…incapable of having a thought of her own.

  Here! Here! Jayhawker justice is just what the doctor ordered. The blue socialists of the north and the west better not have a change of heart and come looking for this redneck for protection. It’s not going to happen. Stay out of my driveway.

If I can make it into town tomorrow I will stop by our local Hobby Lobby. If not, I do shop there often.

Just as long as they refuse to pay the fines. I want as little of my patronage to go to the government.

Rather than everyone “supporting Hobby Lobby” why don’t we all just do the same? Wouldn’t that be more powerful than buying a bunch of googly eyes, glitter, and hot glue sticks?

  Yeah, but that would mean we’d be taking a stand and moving out of our comfort zones, which is a no-no – apparently.

  Yes, but the IRS has destroyed many lives of people that were trying to follow their rules. Woe to any individual that tries to stand up to them, it will require ALL OF US to make a difference. In the meantime, I am sure Hobby Lobby could use some patronage for their upcoming legal battles.

  THE: The IRS is the Gestapo of the executive branch. Obama’s SS troops. Remember the SCOTUS: just declare something a tax, like the Affordable ( wink, wink) HealthCare Act, and it becomes a mandatory- to-obey-thing ! Wicked.
