I respectfully disagree. The government mandating that a certain group disregard their religious beliefs and provide goods and services prohibited by their religious tenants is (in my estimation) one hell of a good reason to get your panties in a wad. Since when is government intervention required to make contraceptives available anyway? Every damn grocery store, gas station, convenient store, or drug store has aisles and aisles of this stuff availability is NOT an issue. If your religion prohibits the use of such items that's your choice NOT the government's. I'd really prefer that our benevolent leaders concentrate on really significant issues like an economy that's been in the toilet for 4 years, a president that entertains terrorists at the White House, and supreme court justices that view the Constitution as a pesky little document.
The government has already mandated certain groups disregard their religious beliefs Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and it has done so in the past many a time. In that respect I agree it is a time to get panties in the wads but it just seems odd to me that it is only when certain religions are believed to be attacked (not necessarily attacked but believed to be) that people stand up. Anyways to the second issue I go to a college in a pretty rural area of New York State, and even out there I can say that birth control is widely available but I will say that in the inner city (which is near my home address) while birth control is in stores most of the people who end up having sex either don't buy it because of finances, or do not buy it because of social stigmas. I can also say that this also happens in rural areas too where everyone knows eachother, there's a joke about this whole topic which I will include as it does provide some humor.* That being said I believe the insurance companies whether they are employees of a public, private, religious or secular organization should provide employees with birth control options.

As to the more serious topics you mentioned those are a matter for another much longer discussion in a different thread.

*A young man goes into a drugstore to buy condoms. The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants.

"Well," he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot. I want the condoms because I think tonight's "the" night. We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out. And I've got a feeling I'm gonna get lucky after that. Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack." The young man makes his purchase and leaves.

Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents. He asks if he might give the blessing, and they agree. He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes. The girl leans over and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person." He leans over to her and whispers, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist.
