Posted by Leo Not to mention that our jurisdictions claim contraception is acceptable under certain circumstances. I don't remember reading that that only includes families with enough disposable income....

My Medicaid is run thru an outfit called the Keystone Mercy Health Plan. It's a joint venture of Keystone Blue Cross and the health system of an RC religious order, the Religious Sisters of Mercy ... hence the name. Because the Sisters are Catholic, KMHP doesn't cover birth control. But because we're not all Catholic, KMHP refers contraceptive coverage directly to Blue Cross. IIUC something like this ist he current 'state of the law' regarding the vaunted "HHS requirement." But the RC bishops "wouldn't take Yes for an answer," because they've been gunning for this President since he was elected, if not before ... without brushing their hands free of the government subsidy aka their tax-exempt status. The Democratic Party, too. And the Orthodox don't have but a tiny fraction of the RCs' covered employees.
