Friday’s rally on the statehouse grounds in Topeka involved mostly Catholics protesting the recently upheld Affordable Care Act because, according to Gov. Sam Brownback, it would require people of faith to “violate their beliefs in order to fulfill a government objective.” 

The governor extrapolated from the health care ruling that Catholics, especially, would be forced to pay for abortions. 

In a word — no.

The health care act insists health insurance cover contraception — not abortions.
