Dozens protest outside Hobby Lobby over contraception ruling
About 40 protesters gathered outside the Lawrence Hobby Lobby on Monday in response to the Supreme Court decision allowing closely held corporations to refuse birth control coverage on religious grounds. They carried signs such as Get a Better Hobby and Not my Boss's Business as motorists waved. The Kansas Young Democrats organized the action, joined by Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Missouri and others, with aims to energize turnout for Election Day. A Kansas State University student noted largely positive reactions from passersby except for a critic in a Obama shirt.
