They are coming after other rights after taking this one from you

"Contraceptive and other mandates have been levied on Catholic institutions by American legislators and courts, which argue that the “right” to contraception takes precedence over religious freedom. Future government mandates are likely to include assisted suicide and recognition of same-sex marriages. By agreeing to these mandates, Church representatives risk grave imputability in the wrongs of others, as defined by canon law. Sponsors of employee benefit plans which include contraceptive coverage risk canonical penalties because payment contributions indicate immediate material cooperation with an intrinsic evil. Furthermore, by collaborating even under protest, the Church encourages further government intrusions on religious freedom. Executive summary, "Contraceptive Mandates and Immoral Cooperation" by Marie T. Hilliard, JCL, Ph.D., R.N

If you are a protestant, no one's in charge, no one will tell you about evil or collaborating with the government, so on this you may have to trust the one church with the most experience and age. But whatever direction your church takes, this isn't the end--he will come for more and more.  Don't believe me?  When was the last time your church was allowed to evangelize while feeding the poor? Teaching English to foreigners? Roofing a home in a deteriorating neighborhood?
