The problem is, this is more than just churches. We're talking about ANY COMPANY that may be run by a Catholic person. Hospitals. Schools. As the one attorney pointed out, TACO BELL.
I have no idea what the religious affiliation of, say, the owner of Kohl's is. So I would be right pissed if I took the job and then was told I couldn't get birth control through their insurance because the owner is Catholic.
If the company is not a religious-focused organization - if the POINT of the company is something OTHER than worshiping whatever it is they choose to worship - than they should be bound by this law. It's called the separation of church and state, and this is one instance of it.
