But these arguments have no bearing on the constitutionality of the law. Assuming every argument they have raised is correct, and everything we have said in response is wrong, or that the law was passed in a totally honest way without the President bribing the members of Congress, this does not make the law constitutional. Why? Because, however moving its justifications, the State does not have the right or the duty to prescribe population control and to be the source and the provider of contraception. Its duty is the exact opposite. It is to “equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception.” As there may be no unborn to protect if the State becomes the preventer or destroyer of conception, it cannot be the source and provider of contraception. It is as simple as that. It is as simple as saying that white cannot be black and vice versa, or that one thing cannot be and not be at the same time. You do not have to be a Catholic to see this. You only have to be a rational creature to see it. You only have to understand your basic freedom as a human being to know that the State has no business telling you how you are to embrace your husband or your wife. Of course, if you are a man or woman of faith, you know that the State has no business telling you what to believe and what not to believe, and since your Faith teaches you that contraception is intrinsically evil, you have a right to demand that the State respect your belief, and not use your tax money to fund a program that precisely attacks that belief.
