There are really only two issues here:
1) Should contraception be considered a basic medical expense and coverage be required? And,
2) If so, should non-religious institutions that are owned by religious institutions receive an exemption from that requirement if the values of the religion call for it?
(Note that religious institutions themselves do receive exemptions and no one is advocating to the contrary, so that's a non-issue.)
Nothing else -- not the personal character of any person advocating either side of this issue, in particular -- is of any importance or significance. This entire thread is a red herring.
Conservatives took such a beating on this issue, it's astounding how they just want it to go on and on and on and on.
