“The state is making itself into a church”
“What will happen if the HHS regulations are not rescinded? A Catholic institution, so far as I can see right now, will have one of four choices: 1) secularize itself, breaking its connection to the church, her moral and social teachings and the oversight of its ministry by the local bishop.

The political right sneers at these contentions.
Others would talk about hunger issues or human rights, and they’ll get some supporters from both sides of the aisle.
I think there may be a bigger issue:
