text: More prattle on contraceptives in health insurance. 
  
  Contraceptives should be mandated coverage in all health insurance.  This leaves the actual decision to use or not use contraceptives to the conscious of the individual.  This is freedom of conscious.  This is respect for the agency of each person.  
  
  This is also freedom of religion for those who rely on insurance coverage to be able to make a choice about health care. This is freedom from economic coercion, the attempt to force people to live by a religious belief they do not freely choose.  
  
  Freedom of religion is not just the freedom of job "owners" but the freedom of each of us - lets not substitute the power of the owners of jobs for the power that used to reside in those who ruled by "divine right", whether that was "divine right" kings or "divine right" bishops.  
  
  If Catholic bishops and priests want to preach on the "evils" of contraception, let them preach on it to their hearts content.  But stop the attempt at coercion.
