I’m not much of a scrapbooker myself given that I’m happily married and thus completely fulfilled. To be honest most of my hobbies these days involve drinking white/red/whatever’s in the house and plying baby pacifiers out of my pug’s mouth. But for all the single ladies who spend their weekends poring over just the right cardstock and sticker embellishments for their cat’s eighth scrapbook in a series of cat scrapbooks, they are faced with quite the dilemma: to shop at Hobby Lobby or not to shop at Hobby Lobby.

The craft store chain is strongly against some types of birth control because of their deeply held religious beliefs. Their landmark case against Obamacare’s contraception mandate went in front of the Supreme Court yesterday. (Not surprisingly the three female justices on the court—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Sam Alito—argued against the for-profit corporation.) The whole thing seems so unnecessary. I think we all can agree that Hobby Lobby is an effective form of birth control in and of itself. Do the female employees who work day in and day out amidst crochet hooks and stitch markers really get out much? Lots of single guys coming in asking about American Girl doll dress patterns?

If you don’t have time to read up on the case, all you have to do is watch this video about how Obamacare=Euthanasia. Riveting.
