Does Providing Contraception to Women = Hating Religion?

What? What? WHAT?!

It's like a bad joke opening, "Two Roman Catholics and a Mormon walk into a bar and demand that all the women stop using contraception..."

To make the joke complete let's examine the "moral authority" credentials of these three clowns and that of the "religious authorities" who want to make religion -- say the "issue" that President Obama is not a "real Christian," or he is "anti-religious freedom" -- an election year talking point.

Who is it that claims this moral authority and that also demands to be taken seriously? Why the Roman Catholic bishops and a former Mormon missionary of course!

But they won't win a war with this. Young people are already leaving religion, so their best idea is to take themselves even further out of the mainstream to possibly "win a fight" or even just fire a few shots.

I thought free will was one of the cornerstones of their creation story.
