The Hobby Lobby decision by the U.S. Supreme Court not only upholds “religious freedom” but also means that employers don’t have to subsidize sex for “recreational behavior,” according to several of America’s best-known male conservative commentators.

“My religion trumps your ‘right’ to employer-subsidized, consequence-free sex,” proclaimed Erick Erickson of the Red State web site.

The fact that he is four times wed, childless, and was once detained by U.S. Customs for having Viagra for which he had no prescription . . . None of the above could keep Rush Limbaugh from weighing in on Hobby Lobby.

On his radio show, Limbaugh exclaimed:

“Pregnancy is something you have to cause. Yet we treat it as a great imposition that women need to be protected from. It’s a sickness, it’s a disease, it’s whatever and there’s gotta be a pill for it. Yet, they wouldn’t have the problem if they didn’t do a certain thing. It’s that simple.”

Several of the Republican Party’s most astute consultants have urged GOP candidates and officials to steer clear of talk about contraception, rape and other topics that have produced a yawning gender gap at the polls.

In the wake of Hobby Lobby, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., pointed out that 99 percent of American women use birth control at some point in their lives.

Yet, as complied by the Talking Points Memo, loud men of the right-wing airwaves remains unconstrained.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appeared on a radio program with conservative host Andrew Wilcow.

Wilcow said the Supreme Court, in its 5-4 decision, decided “whether or not a person who runs a business should be forced to provide something that is largely for recreational behavior,”

“Yes, that’s right, that’s right,” Lee answered.

Partisan Fox News host Sean Hannity managed to link even liberal New York City, sex, and alcohol in one breath.

“I was at the drug store the other day and guess what? There’s a whole section of birth control,” said Hannity. “Go buy it! You can get a condom in a New York bar for free. As a matter of fact, you can take a handful.”

When Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke tried to testify to a House committee about contraception — Republican chairman Rep. Darrell Issa wouldn’t let her, and fielded an all-male witness panel — Limbaugh erupted at Fluke. He called the young woman a “slut” and a “prostitute,” words he later insisted were meant in jest.

But Eric Bolling, cohost of Fox News’ “The Five,” couldn’t resist the opportunity to be ugly, and tweeted:

“Someone get eyeballs on Sandra Fluke. She may do something dumb. After all, now she has to pay for her own birth control.”

Fluke is now a lawyer running for the California state Senate.
