The thoughts will keep coming until something changes. Here is a good article on notions of freedom in relation to the mandate. The essential point is that not providing a subsidy is not the same as taking away a freedom. No one is taking away anyone's right to contracept. Just the obligation for someone else to pay for that right.
Also food for thought: Here is a chart describing the problems with the Guttmacher study that claims 98% of Catholic women use contraception. Two points of caution about this. 1) I have not looked closely at the math, so I don't know that the chart uses stats properly. I simply like the flaws that it points out in the study. 2) Really, it doesn't matter what percentage of Catholic women use contraception. Pick a sin -- I'm sure some percentage of Catholics commit it. For a lot of sins, I add to that figure! That doesn't make it right. It makes Catholics flawed human beings in need of some help. Maybe in the form of a Savior?
