Scarcely. Read the majority opinion. It specifically carves out an exception for "creative works" (or whatever the exact term is, I honestly don't remember) which in effect says that you cannot be forced by law to create something that espouses a position or creed with which you disagree.

As of right now I don't have a strong opinion on the ruling either way, but I think it's worth getting what it says right before we condemn it.

I lean towards thinking that it makes distinctions with which I agree, but I'm going to withhold judgement until I learn more about the arguments and we have a better sense of how it's going to play out in practice.

The Supreme Court is a fucking joke, none of their opinions deserve serious consideration. They're nothing but right wing ideologues pursuing their racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-worker agenda.
