And they still can. Entirely separate issue from mandating that churches are required to pay for it in violation of the First Amendment.

This is one of those dumb issues, studies show a large majority of catholic women use birth control pills.

I imagine studies also show that a significant minority of (cafeteria) Catholic women engage in adultery, as with all religions. Neither fact is relevant to a government compulsion to violate a deeply held religious belief. It is shockingly immoral to compel a faithful and observant Catholic to fund another person's adultery, and it is even more shockingly immoral to compel a faithful and observant Catholic to fund another person's abortion or birth control. I'm not even Catholic, but I'm so disgusted that I see this overreach as casus belli. I would not be on Pelosi/Obama/Reid's side if this led to a civil war. At least to me as with many Catholics, this is not a dumb issue, this is even worse than most of the terrible things that Obama has done in our White House.
