I would give premium reductions equivalent to the cost of contraception to those religious organizations who object to contraception with the caveat that the savings in premium would be transferred to 3rd party insurers to help with the cost of that benefit for such organizastion's employees who want it. We just have different premises here. Contraception and abortion are both women's health issues. For me the failure to provide insurance for these rights by "religious" objections is in the same category of my insisting that I will only pay taxes for the portion of the federal budget that does not go to the pentagon or, alternatively, insisting that the pentagon only be funded at a certain level and thus that proportion is the only amount to be taken from my taxes. Just doesn't work.
