Keller on Conscience of a Corporation | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: To give an employer the right to essentially govern contraception coverage would be a throwback to the days when popular majorities had that right through elected legilslatures - a right that some in the Church still wish they had. That right, however, is a form of mob rule. Indeed, because the insurance program is government mandated and regulated, it would be a reversal of the right of personal privacy in these matters that now extend beyond contraception to consensual sodomy, interracial marriage and yes, even to abortion and gay marriage. The choice is not so much of religious freedom as for the right for religious organizations to stir up mob rule against individual rights. If you allow that, you might as well throw out the Federal courts and the Constitution on equal protection issues. To that, I impolitely say not only no, but Hell No!
