Y'know what? Screw it (no pun intended). I don't care if a government mandate includes an insurance plan requirement to include coverage that an employer religiously objects to — whether that's contraception, or abortion, or blood transfusions, or liposuction, or whatever. My moral decisions are my own, not my employer's. If I decide that medical procedure X is desirable and morally justifiable, it's not up to my frelling employer, the heads of any particular church up there, or some conservative legislator yahoo to override my decision or make me pay more for it (assuming I can afford it myself).
If you think contraception is bad, then pass a freaking law against it, if you dare and if you can. And if the Supreme Court says, no, that's not allowed under the Constitution, then pass a freaking Constitutional Amendment on the subject, if you can and if you dare.
Until then, shut the hell up, and stop pretending that your lofty moral attitudes trump my own. #ddtb
