Religion shouldn't have any sort of political power, no, but religion is supposed to instruct on morality. The catholics are against contraception, but what they generally (though not always) campaign for politically is the end to abortion. With contraception, you aren't hurting others (I don't even think you're hurting your self, personally), but with abortion you are. Religion shouldn't force people to do adhere to what they see as moral, but they should protect against injustice against others. If there was a tax for being Asian, we should scream about that too.
In summary, I somewhat agree. Its not the place of a religious organization to enforce or make laws about many aspects of morality, but some aspects, such as abortion, we should.
It's not contraceptive if they're already pregnant...

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
