I'm sorry but you can't criticize the ACA for being unconstitutional, while also arguing that the law should allow you to opt out of supporting policies that are against your faith. The First Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Also known as the Separation of Church and State. You are free to exercise your religious beliefs by not using birth control. But you cannot demand that Congress write the laws to fit your belief system. edit: By the way, I downvoted you not because I disagree with you, but because of your hypocrisy.

Separation of church and state doesn't apply here. The original founders didn't want church to control the state. Maybe you need to think about this a bit more, since your understanding is faulty. As for being a Christian, fine, but my faith defines how I think. It doesn't mean the church controls my way of thinking. Just influences it. That in no way has anything to do with the separation of church and state. ESP for founders that were all very religious.
