SLUT SHAMING GEEZERS

(by Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Jonathan Mann)
(additional verses by RBG and Will Quale)

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. 573 U.S. 682 (2014)
Justice Ginsburg, dissenting.

Religious organizations exist to 
foster the interests of 
persons subscribing to the same religious 
faith.

Not so of for-profit corporations. 
Workers who sustain these operations are not 
drawn from one religious 
community.

It bears note that the cost of an IUD is 
nearly equivalent __ to a 
month's full-time pay for 
workers making Minimum Wage.

	Oh, the Court, I fear, __ has 
	ventured into a minefield ... full of 
	slut-shaming geezers and 
	religious extremism;

	Oh, one thing's clear: __ This 
	fight isn't over;
	We've got to stand together for 
	what we know is right.

Any decision to use contraceptives [is]
not propelled by the Government.
[It's] the woman's autonomous choice informed by her 
[doctor].

Approving some religious claims while 
deeming others unworthy could be 
perceived as favoring one religion over 
another.

Would the exemption extend to blood transfusions, 
antidepressants, and anesthesia, 
pills coated with gelatin, and 
vaccinations?

	Woah, now, the Court, I fear, __ has 
	ventured into a minefield ... full of 
	slut-shaming geezers and 
	religious extremism;

	Oh, one thing's clear: __ This 
	fight isn't over;
	We've got to stand together for 
	what we know is right.

*****

In a decision of startling breadth the Court holds 
that corporations can opt out of any law 
they judge incompatible with their 
sincerely held religious beliefs.

Persuaded that Congress enacted [this law] 
to serve a far less radical purpose,
Mindful of the havoc the Court's judgment can 
introduce, I dissent.

	The Court, I fear, __ has 
	ventured into a minefield ... full of 
	slut-shaming geezers and 
	religious extremism;

	Oh, one thing's clear: __ This 
	fight isn't over;
	We've got to stand together for 
	what we know is right.
