It's alright for a woman to be treated like a second-class citizen and be made to secure her health needs more circuitously and expensively than others need do because of someone's metaphysical belief-system?
Absolutely not. However, a religious exemption for offering contraceptives does not create a situation where women are "Second-class citizens," either.
if Muslims should start to demand that sharia law should rule in their communities over American laws, would you be on their side?
If both parties are on board, I don't have an issue with it. I can't see making it apply across the board beyond that community, though.
