Italicized the part that's true, bolded the part that isn't.
Further, no one is imposing birth control on anyone. If people were being forced to take birth control it wouldn't just be a religious issue, there would be people from all walks of life up in arms about something like that. You're blowing this out of proportion based on a misconception of what the law allows and how it applies to businesses operated by religious organizations. No ones rights are being infringed upon.
What a church does in it's business transactions and what it does in it's spiritual transactions are entirely different things. This is why there are so many provisions with regards to the law and religious organizations in the first place. There is the churches "business exposure", which must be in accordance with law if they are to avail themselves of the benefits of law (or if they wish to avoid the penalties of law). Then there is the churches "spiritual exposure", which is a ticket they write for themselves and is protected.
