I'm not so sure about that--one of the main tenet's of Catholicism is (no interference with) natural conception. The US Supreme Court just ruled that religious organizations are exempt from complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act with respect to its "called" Teachers due to a restriction it would place on the organization's first Amendment rights: law.cornell.edu Granted, lay Catholics are not "called teachers" or a formal part of the Church hierarchy, but how farfetched is it, given the current SCOTUS's makeup to imagine an extension of the definition to include laity? I don't know the answer and don't think anyone else does either until such a case were to be brought, but for me it's not out of the question that the issue could be argued before our highest tribunal. What they would do with it--God only knows (G).
