I find your comments to be very reasonable, and I am not the type to react strongly to to either side of the debate.

All discussions involve philosophy, and I find your proposal interesting. That said, it should not be a requirement of insurance to cover birth control. It's fine to include it as an optional covered item, but to require it is unethical. People don't have the right to consequence free sex, and people don't have the right to impose their "religion" (requiring insurance to include birth control) on someone else. While I disagree with the Catholic Church's view on birth control, I validate their concern with being forced to support something which you are fundamentally against, especially when it does not directly relate to health.
