Why Obama's Compromise On Insured Contraception Is Still Wrong

After creating a firestorm over his contraception mandate, Obama announced a so-called "compromise" that he said would allow religious institutions to sidestep the moral objection of providing birth control and still provide fully-covered contraception to its employees. That compromise was to place the burden for providing birth control onto the insurance companies. But, in all too many cases, the Catholic Church is the insurer. That's because, in 28 states, the Catholic Church had already been forced to become a self-insured employer to avoid state-mandated contraception insurance coverage. Now, the Church is being sandwiched in by both the State and Federal Governments and this is why the contraception mandate is still a violation of freedom of religion as specified in the Constitution.
