I simply can't understand why people are all up in arms about contraception coverage. It's as if they think the government is saying "You must provide every female employee with birth control out of your own funds."

Eden's obviously in the wrong here, but I think your feelings of betrayal are misplaced. There is a significant "crunchy conservative" that most of us wouldn't come into contact with, particularly if the only environmentalists or organic foodies we know are Prius-driving liberals.
