Does the Church care whether or not I am forced to provide abortion coverage to my employees?
Or, are they concerned with their own freedoms only??
But we note at the outset that the lack of clear protection for key stakeholders—for self-insured religious employers; for religious and secular for-profit employers; for secular non-profit employers; for religious insurers; and for individuals—is unacceptable and must be corrected. And in the case where the employee and insurer agree to add the objectionable coverage, that coverage is still provided as a part of the objecting employer's plan, financed in the same way as the rest of the coverage offered by the objecting employer. This, too, raises serious moral concerns.The bishops are indeed expanding their objection to include everyone who has moral reservations and not just religious institutions.
