??? actually their argument is that the government is pushing into aspects of religious freedom... an HHS mandate requiring Catholic institutions to pay to cover contraception, sterilization, and some abortifacient drugs. And it has nothing to do with your view of the morality of contraception. It has to do with the government telling a religious organization to violate their consciences.
Yes. There should be a strict separation of church and state say the politicians that use their religious views to influence policy on abortion, on gay marriage, and on teaching creationism in school.
