No on is making you take birth control. So nuts.
Right. Her argument is a non-argument. Walking away by far the most sane choice.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Google says yes, most do: [link]
[edit: Oh wait, that article answers a slightly different question, which is do Catholic institutions already cover bc in their insurance plans. I'm guessing the answer is the same, though.]

Here we go:
According to the national survey of 1,536 U.S. physicians, 93 percent of all doctors -- and 87.5 percent of 327 self-described Catholic physicians -- said they would "prescribe birth control to any adult patients that request them and for whom they are medically appropriate."

It's interesting: this article [link] really focuses on abortion and sterilization, but seriously, what about the Pill?

In other randomness, do nuns who have taken a vow of poverty and live within the convent and teach at parochial schools get paid?
