yup because the (MALE) owner calls himself a "Christian", they're refusing to cover BC and the morning-after pill, claiming the latter is an abortifacient (when it isn't).

i first heard about it on facebook. there's a Boycott Hobby Lobby page there if you're on FB and you're interested in joining.

starting to think they're REALLY misogynistics after a post yesterday from another member of that page--his girlfriend works at an HL and they just announced that all female employees' purses will be inspected on a regular basis. (now i've heard of retail places inspecting employees' bags/lunchboxes on their way out--but they did NOT limit it to just the female employees!)
