The Obama administration offered a compromise to religious institutions that object to paying for their employees’ birth control — as mandated by the Affordable Health Care Act — because it violates their faith. The proposed rules will expand the religious exemption from churches and dedicated inculcators to include nonprofit religious institutions that have secular functions, such as universities. The workaround is pretty simple: Religious institutions tell insurers that they oppose contraception on religious grounds and the insurers offer employees a separate, contraception-only policy without co-pays. Religious groups won’t have to “contract, arrange, pay or refer for any contraceptive coverage” and can continue pretending 99 percent of women don’t use it at some point.
