Dave Winer Misses the Obvious

I didn’t realize that churches don’t pay taxes. So why then don’t they STFU about paying for moral things. They don’t pay, we do. I don’t see where they have any say in it.
He has missed the painfully obvious fact that providing health care to employees is NOT a tax. Any employer that provides health care has to follow the laws regarding what health care options are required.
In the current situation vis-a-vis the HHS mandate, if a church-related nonprofit finds one or more of those required options to be morally objectionable (e.g., free contraception), their freedom to abide by their conscience is being trumped by the state, which clearly contravenes the “free exercise” of religion clause of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
That is why they can’t “STFU” about it.
