The Argument
According to Pandia Health, the major four religions of the world are Christianity, Judaism, Catholicism, and Islam. Among these four religions, Catholicism is the only one that explicitly does not approve of birth control. Catholicism makes up approximately two billion of the people on earth-a huge number.[1]
Forcing those who do not believe in birth control, as a part of their faith, to pay for it through taxes is not morally correct. People should be able to object to paying for things that interfere with their religion.
Counter arguments
Separation of church and state does exist, making religious grounds have no place in medical or scientific debates. This is not a topic that religion should be involved in in any way.
Proponents
Premises
[P1] Birth control is controversial in some religions.
[P2] We should not make those who religiously object absorb the cost for birth control.
Rejecting the premises
[Rejecting P2] Whether someone is religious is irrelevant in this context.
