You know about the current controversy over birth control coverage right? The government is trying to force organizations with a moral objection to birth control to pay for coverage for it. Thus making them get involved in it, making it part of their business.

I have no opposition to contraception* myself, and I'd strongly oppose making it illegal, or otherwise trying to forcibly prevent people from using it, but it unjust and of dubious constitutionality for the federal government to try to force third parties (esp. but not only religions with a moral objection to it) to pay for it.

* Not all forms of birth control are contraception, by a defintion I've seen recently, birth control prevents birth, contraception prevents conception, doing the later does the former, so all contraception is birth control, but not all birth control is contraception.
