It's the church's money and forcing them to do something that they think is a grievous moral wrong. How can that be a right of a woman? That's not -- has nothing to do with the right of a woman. This has to do with the right of the church not to spend their resources in a way that's inconsistent with their faith. This is the kind of coercion that we can expect. It's not about contraception. It's about economic liberty.
