HHS Mandate: Hobby Lobby Explains Its Stance
Oct 27, 2024 2:35 PM

Hobby Lobby, an arts and crafts retailer with 588 stores across the U.S. is involved in a federal lawsuit against the HHS mandate. Aided in their legal fight by The Becket Fund, Hobby Lobby wants people to know what is at stake in their fight against the federal government’s mandate that employers must include birth control, abortifacients and abortions in employee health care coverage. David Green, founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby has stated:

My family and I are encouraged that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide our case. This legal challenge has always remained about one thing and one thing only: the right of our family businesses to live out our sincere and deeply held religious convictions as guaranteed by the law and the constitution.Business owners should not have to choose between violating their faith and violating the law.

In addition, pany has released this video:

What turns protests into riots?
On Saturday night, the riots came to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Vandals looted and damaged 100 businesses and destroyed seven police cars. Officers are now seeking photos and videos to track down rioters. Businesses already struggling as a result of lockdowns are now grappling with damage and theft inflicted by rioters. The National Guard was mobilized, and the city issued a 7 p.m. curfew which expired at 5 o’clock this morning. Things have been relatively quiet since these measures took effect,...
Acton Line podcast: Is it time for a universal basic income?
For over two years, former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang campaigned across the country, building a coalition along the political spectrum. The main promise driving Yang’s campaign was his “freedom dividend,” a guaranteed e of $1,000 per month for every American citizen. This “dividend” is a form of universal basic e, an idea that’s been around for centuries and one that’s gaining popularity, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. People who support versions of universal basic e say it would solve...
Rev. Robert Sirico: Churches are ‘the first of the first responders’
During the coronavirus pandemic, the media crowned a new set of heroes: healthcare workers, essential employees, and first responders. But politicians who classify church attendance as non-essential ignore the fact that churches “are the first of the first responders,” says Acton Institute President and Co-founder Rev. Robert A. Sirico. Rev. Sirico makes the observation during a brief interview on the Fox News Channel’s Your World with Neil Cavuto, which aired on Friday, May 22. “This is not the first time...
Acton online conference: “Banned” wagon? Why dissenting freethinkers are censured on social media.
The Acton Institute’s Rome office is sponsoring an online seminar on Thursday, May 28, at 7 p.m., Central European Time: “‘Banned’ wagon? Why dissenting freethinkers are censured on social media.” The topic is most timely as independent voices–doctors, scientists, economists, activists, and journalists whose duty it is to be inquisitive–are being silenced by social media giants like Facebook and YouTube. Now, even Google has joined the “banned” wagon, removing content it considers “misinformation” from its private file-sharing accounts on Google...
Coronavirus surges in Latin America
On Wednesday Alejandro Chafuen—the Acton Institute’s Managing Director, International—continued his series of articles on chronicling the impact of the coronavirus in Latin America. While the total number of cases has yet to reach the levels we see in the United States, the rate of infections and related deaths is increasing. While testing is ing more frequent and widespread, it still trails behind much of the rest of the world. As winter settles over the Southern Hemisphere, the answers to many...
A recipe for economic recovery from COVID-19
With the focus on COVID-19 shifting from the health emergency (easing) to getting the economy going again (glimmers of hope), it’s easy to forget just how good the economy was before the pandemic hit. Recall that in mid-February, financial news organizations were reporting that the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indexes were hitting record highs. In “Getting America Back to Work.” (Encounter Books, 2020), Andy Puzder has drawn a sharp contrast between the eight-year stagnation and regulatory overkill of...
The Church must confront China over Hong Kong
China’s worsening human rights abuses instigated an historic change in U.S. foreign policy. Unfortunately, they have drawn a sharper rebuke from secular politicians than from many in the church. On May 27, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the Trump administration stands ready to revoke Hong Kong’s privileged relationship with the U.S., because the province is no longer sufficiently independent of the People’s Republic of China. When the UK relinquished Hong Kong in 1997, Beijing promised to respect...
Rev. Robert Sirico: The secular marginalization of the church during COVID-19
As some Americans in some states are being granted the “permission” to return to church services, Rev. Robert Sirico, president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, reminds us that government bureaucrats will never be more concerned about the personal and spiritual needs of believers than their own pastors. Rev. Sirico shares his thoughts on how both the church and faithful have been marginalized by the state during the pandemic, and on the historical role that churches have played as first...
“Minneapolice” state creates its own monster
In a May 30 article I published for the Italian media outlet Nouva Bussola Quotidiana, “Minneapolice”, repression and anger behind the violence, I explain that plenty of kindling was laid during American COVID-19 lockdowns for heated unrest that has erupted nationwide following George Floyd’s killing. As I write, “with drastic levels of poverty, hunger, and death, we should not be at all surprised” that desperate citizens that have now looted arsoned buildings to “personally consume” goods or “sell for a...
George Floyd reveals the bankruptcy of the elites
The protests, looting, and fires which have rocked the city of Minneapolis after the tragic death of George Floyd are yet another illustration of prehensive failure of our leading institutions, which seem petent and unprepared to handle society’s widespread anger and alienation. The concurrent rise of nationalism, socialism, and populism during the twentieth-first century increasingly resembles a tragic recapitulation of the nineteenth. Institutions are in crisis and elites face increasing criticism for the way their mismanagement has eroded mon good....
