Free birth control is not a right

According to Ms. Gingras (Fence Post, June 30), the rights of an employee to have free birth control takes precedence over an employer’s rights to his or her religious beliefs. Liberals always take the position that if you don’t give them what they want for free, you are heartless. The Catholic bishops are finally standing up for their religious freedom, which they are entitled to under the Constitution. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that you have a right to free birth control pills to have sex. If you want them, pay for them yourself.
