Second, the word "trample" is too biased. There are certainly disagreements about what constitutes liberty and what constitutes oppression, for example, but when you use demonizing language like that, you're more likely to bolster religious positions than to minimize them.

I could give two shits for what the CEO of the fucking Hobby Lobby believes, until he pushes those personal beliefs down the food chain to those he employs.The problem isn't what the employees can or cannot do. The management are not trying to prevent staff from contraceptive health care-- they are saying they don't want to be complicit in those parts of health care which go against their own beliefs.
No that is a problem, that would be no different than denying health care to mixed couples because of your belief races should not mix. This is simply religious based sexism.
