Because of this:
The New York law does exempt churches, seminaries and other institutions with a mainly religious mission that primarily serve followers of that religion.
I don't think it's ripe for overturning.

That's exactly what happened in California a couple of years ago. The California court ruled that Catholic Charities must abide by all government rules and regulations regarding insurance coverage for contraceptives -- because Catholic Charities fails to meet the definition of a "religious organization" on several grounds.
When I read the court decision in that case, I couldn't help but agree with it.

Then the Catholic Church should shut all its social and charitable operation in New York State: every school, every hospital, and every charity.
Then let the idiots in New York State live with the consequences or change the law.
