11 GOP lawmakers formally back Hobby Lobby

(Washington Times) Eleven Republican members of Congress are challenging the contraception insurance mandate in President Obama?s health care law by formally backing Hobby Lobby, the Oklahoma-based chain of crafts stores whose owners say they must choose between their Christian beliefs and insuring women?s birth control and other preventative services.

Mr. Hatch said Wednesday. ?Unfortunately, the Obama administration has time and again ignored calls to stop the implementation of a policy some organizations or businesses are morally opposed to.?
