Among the  plaintiffs were Catholic dioceses, hospitals, social service agencies,  and universities, including Notre Dame. They say the requirement would  infringe on their religious freedom. Supporters of the coverage plan say  a proposed compromise would avoid religious liberty concerns, but the  Catholic bishops reject that compromise.  Meanwhile, a new Gallup Poll  found that 82 percent of US Catholics believe birth control is morally  acceptable. Fifteen percent said it was morally wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Joining me  now are Kim Lawton, managing editor of this program, and Kevin  Eckstrom, editor-in-chief of Religion News Service. Kevin, Kim, welcome.  Kevin, what do you make of this?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs-wnet-preprod.digi-producers.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2012\/05\/post01-catholics-v-obama.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin Eckstrom\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11117\" \/><strong>KEVIN ECKSTROM<\/strong>: Well, the  Catholic institutions that filed suit are basically fighting over  whether or not they have to provide birth control coverage to their  employees in their insurance plans. That\u2019s what the root of this is all  about. The fact that they, 43 groups, came together and filed a dozen  lawsuits shows that they are trying to come at this with the full weight  of the church, to show that this is not just an isolated diocese or a  small group, but that the whole range of the church is really upset  about this. And it also signals, I think, that they don\u2019t see any other  alternative, that they don\u2019t see a political compromise in the works  with the White House. They, I think, in a lot of ways, feel like they  have no other choice but to go to court.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KIM LAWTON<\/strong>: And they  feel that the compromise that the White House has offered which some  more progressive, liberal, moderate Catholics say that\u2019s okay\u2014 these  groups are saying no, it\u2019s not okay. It doesn\u2019t cover us, and for them  it\u2019s a matter of religious freedom, and they very clearly said, this is  not about contraception, really. It\u2019s about religious freedom and our  ability to practice our beliefs and the government not telling us what  to do, what we have to do, and the government not also saying who is a  religious group that qualifies for an exemption from the policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: And how representative do you think these groups are?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ECKSTROM<\/strong>:  Well, they\u2019re representative in that it\u2019s a broad range. I mean, it\u2019s  schools, it\u2019s groups, it\u2019s dioceses, it\u2019s big dioceses and small ones.  But it\u2019s only a handful of dioceses, I think, you know, less than 12  dioceses out of 200 or so in the country, so the vast majority of local  dioceses did not join this suit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: But that doesn\u2019t mean that they like, what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ECKSTROM<\/strong>:  Right. And a lot of them support what the bishops as a whole are trying  to do, but there is some dissension in the ranks about what the best  legal strategy is, and a lot of people, a lot of bishops, or some  bishops think that this was a bit premature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: The fury  of the opposition and the breadth of it suggest that the administration  might have miscalculated when they presented this in the first place.  Do you see that?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs-wnet-preprod.digi-producers.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2012\/05\/post02-catholics-v-obama.jpg\" alt=\"Kim Lawton\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11118\" \/><strong>LAWTON<\/strong>: Well, the first policy, the first  iteration of this policy got very widespread disapproval from a lot of  Catholics, and we\u2019ve heard that inside the administration there were  people saying, warning the administration that this would not be  popular. Now, more people, more Catholics have approved this, the  compromise that the Obama administration tried to work out, but there  are some suggestions that maybe they weren\u2019t prepared for this and that  the religious outreach wasn\u2019t what it should have been in order to  figure out how to maneuver this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: Quickly, you agree?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ECKSTROM<\/strong>:  Yeah, and a lot of Catholic bishops said that they were basically  blindsided by this. They were never consulted beforehand and say hey,  this is what we\u2019re planning to do, what do you think? Can we find  something that works? Instead, they were just handed this and said take  it or leave it, and the bishops basically have said no, we\u2019re not going  to take it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: Right in the middle of an election year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ECKSTROM<\/strong>:  Right. And there is some concern both within the bishops\u2019 conference  but also without that the bishops risk appearing to be anti-Obama or  perhaps too Republican and that the timing on this needs to be very,  very sensitive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABERNETHY<\/strong>: Kevin Eckstrom.
