Faith is not a commodity

A mandate for health insurance companies to provide contraceptives to employees of religious organizations is entirely uncalled for, and yet more unnecessary government interference in faith issues. By paying premiums to an insurance company that offers contraceptive services, those organizations are implicitly endorsing those services, and, in the process, betraying their faith.
And since when is contraception preventive care? What does it prevent?? A woman from taking responsibility for a choice she has made?
The compromise provides the opportunity for a woman to receive an elective product for free. Who is going to pay for these "free" products? Not the woman, apparently, and certainly not the insurance company. That is just bad business. That leaves the American taxpayers, some of whom have moral objections of their own to having their money pay for such services.
An administration official was quoted in the Washington Post of saying of the U.S. Councils of Bishops "“We never anticipated that this announcement would win the endorsement of an organization that opposed health reform from the very beginning. But we believe it’s the right way to fully address concerns about religious liberty and ensure women get the coverage they need.”
The president has stated that woman should not have to choose between contraception and paying the rent. Why? Paying the rent is a necessary responsibility contraception is an artificial way of not having to be responsible for the consequences of an action.
At any rate, it's none of the government's business, and it's definitely not an issue to pick a fight over just because it is a presidential election year.
