A Catholic business owner provides insurance benefits to employees. Twenty-five of the employees are Catholic, the other 75 are not.

Is the owner bound under pain of sin to provide insurance which excludes contraceptives and sterilizations?

Yes. If he has the choice.

Here in NY our legislature passed a law mandating that contrception be covered if an employer offers health insurance. There is no conscience clause provision.

And remember contraceptives may be abortifacients too.

Hmmm . . .
I didn’t know that. I wok for a Catholic agency that offers health insurance which from what you’re saying pays for contraception.

As far as Glennon’s question I wonder whether one should deny 100 people (and their families) health care coverage on the chance that some of them will misuse it.
Also, there are palns that don’t cover contraception – I know because I’ve heard women complain that insurance pays for Viagra but not the Pill.

Since you are in NY complain to your State Senator and Assemblyman. Tell them you want the conscience clause reinstated.

The Bishops had a lawsuit going which I think they lost.
