No one is forcing you to take any contraceptive! That's a bizzare response. Forcing someone to take a contraceptive is hardly the only possible infringement against someone's liberty. The only infringement of a persons liberty is when a woman is forced to carry a baby she doesn't want to. Not paying for someone's contraception, does not equal, imply, suggest, or resemble, or even remotely approach forcing a women to carry a baby she doesn't want to. I am against war - I still have to pay taxes that pay for those wars. Which is an infringement of or against your liberty. All taxes are, and even more so when what's done with them is something your against. But unless your calling for anarchy there has to be some level of taxation, forcing someone to pay for something themselves is a greater infringement on liberty than forcing them to pay taxes and then paying for it with tax money. Also applying force and maintaining security is a central, and essential part of what it means to be a government. Many specific examples of doing that are not so essential, but the basic category is. That isn't the case with either providing insurance, or making third parties pay for insurance.
