Another somewhat easy fix for this mess would be to offer an accommodation to religious businesses like the Health and Human Services Department has to non-profits allowing a 3rd party to handle birth control coverage. Personally, I think this should be followed by raising corporate taxes to pay for it. Religious businesses would complain, but wouldn't have a leg to stand on since the tax would be levied uniformly. No one gets to pick & choose where their tax dollars go after they pay the piper.
Quite honestly, it's in our country's best interest to provide birth control to whomever needs it. Orders of magnitude cheaper in the long run. For some reason Neo-Cons aren't really that conservative when you look at their actions instead of listening to their words.
