The Catholic Church is free not to offer contraception, the insurance company will provide it. There is zero "forcing" of churches to do anything against their religious beliefs. They are ignoring that announcement in an effort to keep rousing up the religious GOP base politically.
Nearly all religious-affiliated hospitals already offer insurance - and have for decades - that routinely offers birth control.
This - like "Obama is responsible for high gasoline prices!" - is an entirely manufactured political issue.
The current polling shows only 14% of Latinos now support any Republican candidate, and 57% of all women are offended by the GOP (that obviously includes plenty of GOP women). The GOP has ignored the advice they've received over the past 20 years about changing with the country. Those are demographic numbers that cannot be overcome. We are watching the destruction of the current incarnation of the Republican Party. If the brahmins in the party don't take over control, this party is done for years.
