Okay, I'm not sure I get it. Is the issue about mandating all insurance providers to include contraceptives in their plans? If so, I'm not for it as well.
Yup. All insurance providers will have to include free (no co-pay or deductible) contraceptives in their plans. The only exception is for people who literally work at the church. Church hospitals, charities, schools or social service agencies would have to bend the knee and purchase contraceptive coverage.

Yes, AFAIK Church hospitals would not provide those sorts of options. It's against their moral stricture.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
