If the plans that cover contraception and ones that don't basically cost the same, the religious institutions are basically covering the cost of a service that is against their religion. Besides, this doesn't account for institutions who choose to self-insure. These professors are right: this “accomodation” is nothing but a sleight of hand.

If they feel they need to follow the tenets of their religious so closely, why don't they employ only ordained staff. I don't understand what complaint these professors have. They are now not being forced to actually pay for the contraception. The insurance company is. So what they're complaining about is that women get their birth control for free at all! I'm not seeing how it conflicts with their religion that women are getting their birth control covered as long as it is not at the University's expense.
