It's about birth control. It was always about women.

The media has gotten rather good at stating the obvious.

Indeed. Too damn bad. Religions can make whatever arbitrary demands they want to about what is required to obtain salvation. In this case, their immortal souls appear to be at risk not because they USE birth control, but because they allow their organization to be a member of an insurance pool, which, among other things, pays for birth control to those who would use it. Salvation is so tenuous, is it not?
Tomorrow I can claim that paying taxes is against my religion. I'm free to so claim, but if I actually stop paying my taxes, and the IRS audits me... guess what? It's too.... damn.... bad.
