No, seriously. It is definitely in contention. Check out the analogy MSNBC’s Joy Reid made about Hobby Lobby and its case against Obamacare. The craft retailer is challenging Obamacare over its right to refuse to pay for potentially abortifacient drugs for its employees.
The real corner deli analogy would be if the deli prohibited their employees from buying pork with their earnings… #hobbylobby #nerdland

…and asked for an exemption requiring employees to purchase pork with separate, non-compensation money. #hobbylobby #nerdland

Oh, honey. WHAT?
.@JoyAnnReid is the Hobby Lobby preventing employees from buying birth control or do you simply not understand how analogies work?

For Ms. Reid, it is very difficult. Reality is oh-so-hard. But, hey, she has some other “arguments”:
@Wes_Wheeler and you're reading my timeline because… oh, that's right, because libs #benghazi argle barge something… heh.
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) March 30, 2014
Sigh.

Yep. Evidently she is idiotic and heartless.

Heh.
@ItIsGood2BeMe @BenHowe LOL … said the side that wants to force women, including incest and rape victims to give birth…
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) March 30, 2014
VAGINA SQUIRREL!
@JoyAnnReid @ItIsGood2BeMe @BenHowe That is simply not true & it's sad you believe it.
— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) March 30, 2014
Bingo. But why let facts and truth stand in the way of false narrative idiocy?
@SmallBizSkier and you'd be coherent if the government forced employers to "buy" contraceptives. Employers offer insurance as a benefit
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) March 30, 2014
@SmallBizSkier IOW, as a part of your compensation package. You as the employee contribute to it. The insurance covers contraception etc.
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) March 30, 2014
@SmallBizSkier the fact that you folks think employers are being sent to the pharmacy to buy contraceptives is well… you.
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) March 30, 2014
Beyond bless your heart-y.
Some questions for Ms. Reid:
@JoyAnnReid "You folks"? What group is that? The gov't is mandating that one group buy something for another. 1/2
— SmallBizSkier (@SmallBizSkier) April 1, 2014
@JoyAnnReid Can you think of a way we could turn this around under different POTUS that would be uncomfortable for you?
— SmallBizSkier (@SmallBizSkier) April 1, 2014
We won’t hold our breath for an answer. In the meantime, these Twitter users sum it all up best:
1. Cash is fungible; no employer cares how you spend it.
2. Insurance isn't cash.
Not complicated.https://t.co/te18vYRtCu

@baseballcrank liberals don't understand fungible. They think it is something dirty.
