Read the Twitter reactions to the #HobbyLobby ruling

Today's U.S. Supreme Court ruling for Hobby Lobby produced both praise and outrage on Twitter.

In a 5-4 decision, justices ruled that family-owned corporations could not be required to pay for insurance coverage for contraception under the Affordable Care Act, saying that such a requirement violated federal law protecting religious freedom.

Hobby Lobby, an arts and crafts chain owned by an evangelical Christian family, had objected to four types of emergency birth control.

As soon as the ruling was handed down, Twitter was flooded with responses from both sides, including one by Rev. Ronnie Floyd, the newly elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention. Here are a few:

As a strong supporter of religious freedom, I stand with @HobbyLobbyStore. #alpolitics http://ift.tt/1r84GmC

A great day for Religious Liberty! #hobbylobby

If you think the #HobbyLobby ruling is about religious freedom you're mistaken. It's about corporate power to overrule religious freedom.

I wonder if the employees of #hobbylobby are even aware of what's going on and the stakes, or if they're just desperate to remain employed.

We respect the freedom to live out our convictions, not just in private, but in the way we conduct our lives in public as well #HobbyLobby

Dear #SCOTUS: What other laws should the religious be permitted to declare simply don't apply to them in a secular society? #HobbyLobby

Do Muslim employers have a right to make sure their employees don't eat bacon? #SCOTUS #HobbyLobby

They're not coming for your guns, they're coming for your medicine cabinet. Women, you are less important than the NRA. #HobbyLobby #SCOTUS

The Supreme Court is like England's Soccer team, they keep narrowly losing important games. #HobbyLobby
