It's mostly devout Catholics that feel that way about birth control. I wouldn't make that a blanket statement about Christians. Many Christians don't like our government making EVERYONE pay for birth control. The government shouldn't be a part of the equation over these matters. Someone that truly believes that sex before marriage is terrible shouldn't be forced to fund the government, albeit indirectly, to make that an easier decision for a teenager. That's wrong.

I've seen people's retort that they don't want to pay for the military with their taxes ... the problem with that argument is that our Constitution calls out for an army and a navy. It doesn't call out for medication for all. Moreover, we shouldn't be taxed by the Feds ! !!.Anyway, those types of debates need to remain in the social realm, not the political. I'm pretty sure that charity (a real one, not one of these "charity in name only" organizations that seem to exist to launder money) could cover birth control needs for millions of people all across the country. Quite frankly, it'd probably be implemented faster, safer, and more effectively if it were handled by a private charity vs the FedGov ... the Feds only want to control people and create problems.
