Nobody is outlawing birth control pills and no one cares one whit whether a woman takes them or not. That is between she and her doctor and her own conscience, if it's a question of faith.
If the State can compel a Church to act against it's own teachings and beliefs, can they also compel a Roman Catholic doctor to perform an abortion, or for a Roman Catholic Hospital to allow the procedure on it's premises?
It's the Constitutional issue of Freedom of Religion.

Lets be fair now. Do you realize that you have told no less than 6 posters that they are misunderstanding the point of this issue. Could it be that YOU have totally missed the point. Some people can be so POSITIVE they are right, they go blind to the truth. Let me add one more to the side of fairness and say the church is very wrong on this issue and should not be allowed to stand in the way of womens rights.
