The Rev. Lance Schmitz says more than 80,000 people signed petitions opposing the Oklahoma-based arts and crafts chain's lawsuit. The Oklahoma City pastor tried to deliver the petitions Thursday to Hobby Lobby headquarters but was ordered to leave the property. He says he will mail the petitions instead.

Hobby Lobby, which operates more than 500 stores in 41 states, says providing coverage for the morning-after pill violates its Christian owners' “deeply held religious beliefs.”

The petitions say Hobby Lobby's owners shouldn't use their beliefs to deny women access to birth control. The company says it has no objection to preventive contraceptives.
