“The government isn’t telling religious people do things they think are immoral. They are mandating that professional service providers must do the generally accepted right thing so that society can build a level of trust and expectation around these services.
They’re not telling Catholics they have to dispense birth control, treat gays equally, and so forth. They’re telling pharmacists, and health care providers, and adoption agencies that they have to do it. If being Catholic is more important to you than being a competent professional, then quit. You’re free to do so. There are a lot of other jobs out there where you can adhere to your rigid, antiquated beliefs without screwing up other people’s lives.”
