Religious Freedom in the Next Phase of Health Care Reform | Capital Commentary by Clarke E. Cochran.  MGB: The whole contraception fight was waged for political purposes and the Obama side won it.  The only thing the law changed was co-payments - all firms with third party insurance (including churches) already had this coverage due to a ruling by the EEOC in 2000 (as reported by Mother Jones).  Most of the lawsuits filed were to keep the issue in front of the public at election time.  It turns out not many people really cared.  These cases are mostly not ripe for consideration because the final regulations have not been issued - which is proof of their electoral nature.
