And now the government is funding these types of birth control which religious people subsidize anyway. It's not as if they're directly removed from it.
The point being made about Chinese goods is that they are using it to their distinct advantage in the marketplace. Also it's certain that the gun that will kill the child is actually going to be murder under the law. Using these devices is not murder under a neutrally applicable law. Not remotely the same.
There is an ENORMOUS difference between paying taxes and being told I must directly buy someone else a product they could use in a way I find morally reprehensible.
Your point about the Chinese goods still holds no water. Do you like the Chinese government's practices of torturing dissidents? Why do you buy Chinese products then? You could have many reasons to still buy said products and disagree or even fight the government's practices.
And you are being thick about the child analogy as well. It does not matter what the law permits someone else to do. You are allowed to have an abortion. I may find that morally reprehensible and consider it murder. I shouldn't be told I have to pay you directly so you can go and have an abortion. You continue to try and proclaim their beliefs are wrong. That's pointless.
Under your viewpoint anything the government wants to permit another person to do I can be forced to pay for directly. That is a horrible logic trail.
