Doubting Marcus
RSSMany are confused about what the mandate actually states. Religiously affliliated organizations would not be forced to directly give contraceptives/bith control. They would just have to cover it in the insurance plans of their employees. Employees can go to other places to receive assistance. It doesn't make sense that women don't have control of their reproductive health rights due to the religion of their employers. Some employees may not even hold the same beliefs.

Yes I agree but the claim was that this is a violation of religious freedom because church-related institutions have the right to be exempt from the law in this case. What makes this entire thing ironic is that it is largely these same groups who are claiming outrage over an alleged violation of freedom of religion who have no problem saying their religious views override the rights of those with no affiliation to their religion or to no religion at all when it comes to marriage. It seems to some of these people “freedom of religion” really means freedom for all to follow my religious beliefs.
Also this will be the last thing I have to say about the subject at least until there is some other development. Still, thanks for the comment.
