I figure, if there really is an omnipotent god, that he has created the ability to cure disease and protect reproductive health through the use of drugs. Since these things are designed to prolong life, they can't be of the Devil, which is all about destroying life.

I'm (a very bad) Catholic and I think this is stupid, but at the same time, a private religious institution should be able to make like doctors and refuse to prescribe things based on religious beliefs. If the kids don't like it, they should've gone to a state school.

If Gandhi can't get into Heaven because he wasn't a Christian, well then I don't want to get into Heaven either.

Says who? Cuz I know Jesus has several quotes in the bible where he strongly suggests that actions alone will guarantee man a spot in heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.

Apparently Rho want to support a whole bunch of other people's babies and treatment for their diseases.
Unless of course this is just another case of "do as I say but suffer the consequences by yourself."

That's why I said there's disagreement amongst theologians, the bible apparently is unclear on the matter
"  ou see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone," James 2:24
" . . . so also faith without works is dead," James 2:26
"In case some one of your brothers becomes poor among you in one of your cities, in your land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not harden your heart or be closefisted toward your poor brother. For you should generously open your hand to him and by all means lend him on pledge as much as he needs, which he is in want of... You should by all means give to him, and your heart should not be stingy in your giving to him, because on this account Jehovah your God will bless you in every deed of yours and in every undertaking of yours. For someone poor will never cease to be in the midst of the land. That is why I am commanding you, saying, ' ou should generously open up your hand to your afflicted and poor brother in your land." Deuteronomy 15:7
"My brothers, what use is it for a man to say he has faith when he does nothing to show it? Can that faith save him? Suppose a brother or a sister is in rags with not enough food for the day, and one of you says, 'Good luck to you, keep yourselves warm, and have plenty to eat', but does nothing to supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So with faith; if it does not lead to action, it is in itself a lifeless thing." James 2:14

. But in the case of contraception, you have a few higher ups in the church refusing basic medical access to the majority, both Christians and non-Christians alike.
Now you know how most us feel about what government does when it suppresses our basic liberties
