them to pay for someone to have birth control, or "force" them to provide health insurance "against their relious beliefs" ...
I found it ironic that a local (maybe) megaChurch on my morning commute had, not one, but TWO state (Ohio) snowplow/salt trucks cleaning its parking lot ... and the roadway between the two driveways serving said parking lot still had plenty of ice and snow which needed to be cleared.
Odd ... since aren't they usually against having "big government" intervene in their affairs?
Wouldn't you think that, since it wasn't Sunday, they should probably be more inclined to privately pay for their parking lot to be cleared, instead of relying on THE GOVERNMENT providing FREE snowplowing?

Here in VA, the state does roads and commuter lots only. Private property must be cleared by private contractors.
