This bit suggests good reason for anger:

Quote:
can simply obtain their birth control directly through the government, [...] the same way female employees of religious-based nonprofits are supposed to (religious-based nonprofits, by the way, have mounted challenges to signing a piece of paper indicating that they object to birth control,
It's not just about not wanting to be implicated in the sin of providing birth control, it's about actively placing barriers to women being able to access birth control.

And the fact that a fairly large percentage of women who use 'birth control' are actually using it for general reproductive health (e.g endometriosis and other ailments affecting women) seems of less relevance to them than the general sense that women shouldn't be allowed to control their reproductive system through anything except abstinence when unmarried, and once married not at all.
