>> And that violates their religious beliefs.

I have to admit I'm not a very religious person and could quite possibly be on my way to Hell, although I'm starting to think eight years of Obama may be it.

But it seems to me a country, the existence of which, was based predominantly on religious freedom, ought to provide for a great deal of flexibility for anyone who claims their religion is in some way being interfered with. That's true, IMO, whether they're a person who wants to practice Polygamy, consume Peyote, avoid contraceptives, or escape military service on the basis of religious grounds. I have little tolerance for imposition of other people's religion on me, for example, idiotic atheists wanting "In God We Trust" off the money (which is, in effect, the imposition of atheism on agnostics). And I really don't have a problem if someone wants to worship a yucca plant or put up a Festivus pole on the town square.

I cannot imagine how this is even an issue. The government has no right, whatsoever, to impose any involvement with contraceptives on people who oppose it on religious grounds. There is something terribly wrong if the entire contraceptive order is kicked the hell out of the Supreme Court.
