US District Judge Joe Heaton says that Hobby Lobby can't get out of the HHS mandate that private businesses have to provide insurance coverage for drugs that exterminate embryonic Americans.
His line of reasoning is getting way too much traction in post-American society. It goes like this: the business in question is not an explicitly religious organization. Indeed, it exists for a decidedly secular purpose: making money.
This dangerous blurring of the lines between what constitutes an entity comprised of citizens freely associating with each other and the realm of the state's purview is becoming a precedent. If a person's faith really means anything, he must be free to have it inform his conduct in all areas of his life.
There is no right to health care, but there is a right to worship God in a biblically informed way, which means adhering to those principles in all situations.
That Judge Heaton is not capable of thinking this through to that truth does not speak well for our current juncture.
