On the contraception exception: What they sincerely believe

Posted Sunday afternoon, October 8, 2017.

Their "sincerely held" religious belief isn't some vague notion that contraception is wrong somehow, some way, for some reason. It isn't simply that God doesn't like it. It isn't that it promotes "risky behavior". It's that sex outside of marriage is a damnable sin and within marriage it's only for procreation and women's main, if not only, purpose is to have babies and their husbands get to decide when and how many and everybody who isn't their version of Christian still has to abide by the rules dictated by their sincerely held religious belief.
