"We don't want to provide coverage that violates our precious religious rights" is essentially identical to the arguments put forth fifty years ago (and recently endorsed by certain idiot Republicans) that businesses should not be forced to accommodate all comers, especially if the were *shudder* dark skinned.

While we are a very long way from perfect in the area of race relations, we have come an incredibly long way in fifty years. I'm 64, and I remember those days, even though I lived in a part of the country where I never saw any of the "Colored Only" signs.

Now, we need to make the same changes to those who would hide behind "But that's my religious belief!" bullshit.

If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one.
If you don't believe in birth control, don't use it.
If you don't want to gay marry, then don't gay marry.
If you don't want to marry someone of another race, then don't.

Meanwhile, every woman is entitled to controlling her body. If she wants to use birth control, then it should be covered by her health plan, if she's lucky enough to have one. If she gets pregnant and for any reason whatsoever, does not want to go through with the pregnancy, then she should have access to a safe and legal abortion.

Who you love, who you marry, who you choose to spend your own personal time with is totally up to you. But every citizen should be able to marry (one at a time please) whomever they want, so long as they keep to someone of legal age. Just keep it within the species.

Even though we are all entitled to believe what we wish, we are not entitled to force those beliefs on others. And to those who think requiring providing contraception is forcing my beliefs on them, no it isn't. You're still not personally required to use contraceptives, so I'm not forcing you to do anything against your beliefs. Your with holding them from me, is forcing your beliefs on me.

maybe?

... not churches. They have employees, not adherents. The owners are free to avoid contraceptives for themselves, but should have no say in their employees beliefs and practices. They want to deny freedom of religion to their employees.

If you want to run a business, it's not a church. And it's especially not YOUR church. You're a business man not a preacher. If you don't like things to be that way you will get sued. It's that simple.
