This is not only about what to offer. This is about being forced to put money into something you don't believe in. Would you like, say, your money going to a Christian missionary association because the government deems the spreading of Christianity in Muslim countries a way of making peace? Birth control does not aid a medical condition. It is purely optional. No one needs it, so why should an organization be required to offer it, and in the meantime cater to people's lack of sexual self-control? I personally believe birth control is all well and good, but you have to respect people's right not to pay for something they believe to be on par with murder (all sins being equal). If Obama let it pass, Catholics would be putting money in offering plates knowing a fraction of what they give is going to exactly what the priest says not to give to. Priest: "If you feel moved by God, please give. Remember, 1% of everything will be put to contraceptives, but another 1% will be put to printing anti-contraceptive pamphlets."
