Catholic institutions and those who manage them are not being asked to go against their teachings.  They are not being asked or forced to USE birth control.  They don't have to promote it.  They simply are not allowed to deny birth control to those, within their institution or outside of it, who don't agree with that belief.

If the Catholic church is going to provide services to the general community, it needs to act in accordance with the rules and regulations of the land.  If we as a society have elected a government that mandates the availability of birth control for all, the only thing the Catholic church can do about it is preach against the use of contraceptives to their flocks, and attempt to persuade more people to come over to their view.

Or if enough people are really outraged by this, then next time elect some conservatives who will not be so eager to make birth control widely available. Your choice.

I vote for free birth control for all....[/quote]
