They want all PRIVATE employers who are Catholic to be able to deny contraceptives to their employees. You will have to follow the religion of your EMPLOYER. They talk about their right to freedom of religion, but only THEY have freedom of religion? Hey, boss, what is YOUR religion??? I have to know if I am the same religion as YOU because your religion now trumps MINE!!!!!!

Just imagine the absolute NIGHTMARE that would cause, besides being outright illegal?
