Is it just me, or has Patty Murray been extra awesome lately?

Nineteen Democratic senators, including Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and four other women, are filing an amicus brief Tuesday in support of the Obama administration’s contraception mandate under the Affordable Care Act.

The provision is being challenged by Hobby Lobby, an arts and crafts retailer that is arguing that the mandate violates the company’s religious freedoms under the First Amendment, according to Yahoo News.

This Hobby Lobby contraception mandate debate is one of those things that simply shouldn't happen in America. When did it become okay for corporations to provide a benefit for their employees and then tell those employees how they can and can't use the benefit? What business is it of Hobby Lobby's how their employees spend their time? Why are conservatives supporting this, beyond their instinctual fear and loathing of vaginas? This story alternates between nightmarish and simply baffling.
