The Church could equate access to BC to temptation. Therefore, it would be up to the "morality" of its members not to give in. It basically seems like a Tree of Knowledge type situation.

No one seems to be forcing BC on these people.

Freedom of religion also includes freedom from religion. The church has no place trying to dictate to people outside its flock.
