About two weeks ago I blogged on the Department of Health and Human Services decision to force religious institutions (not necessarily congregations or churches, per se - but that remains to be seen as well) to provide health care to their employees that includes (free of charge, with no co-pay), contraceptive and potentially abortifacient prescription drugs.  The loudest response to this intrusion has come from the Roman Catholic Church, including it's American bishops.  Their schools and hospitals and other sponsored organizations have been denied exemption to this ruling.  The religious organization that is perhaps most visible and most vocal in it's rejection of both contraceptive drugs and abortifacient drugs is now being required to provide access for free to these drugs to its employees.  In doing so, of course, even if it's employees don't take advantage of these benefits, the premiums paid by the organizations are being used to leverage the costs of those that do.  The Roman Catholic Church - and every other organization in the United States secular or religious - becomes an active sponsor of birth control and abortion.
