<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 29, 2012) Yesterday we began a conversation about social issues that are in play during this election year, ranging from contraception to prenatal testing to the role of religion in politics and public life. Catholic bishops across the country are working to defeat laws requiring that insurance coverage provided by religious groups include services like contraception and vasectomies.Polls show that the vast majority of American families, including Catholics to use contraception.  But in a conversation with Brian Mann yesterday, Bishop Terry LaValley of Ogdensburg said the church’s opposition to contraception is firm.&quot;Because it’s a fundamental teaching of our faith. It’s a question of life, of the preservation of life.” LaValley said requiring faith groups to offer insurance coverage for services like contraception and vasectomies amounts to &quot;an attack on religious freedom.&quot;The Rev. Laurena Will has been pastor of  First Presbyterian Church of Ogdensburg for seven years, and an ordained minister for 20. Her church owns the building that houses the Ogdensburg Planned Parenthood Clinic. Martha Foley spoke with her yesterday. Will sees the insurance mandate and the religious freedom issue that rises from it; from a very different perspective.
