What is your take on the current kerfuffle about abortion and birth control?

For a long time now I have considered attempts to take away a woman’s right to choose to be a thinly veiled attempt to control women. With the recent turn of events regarding birth control, the Sandra Fluke defamation incident, and now this ridiculous law in Arizona, my belief is being solidified. What is your take on the debate and what is currently happening? Is it truly just religious? Is it about power? Protecting women? What is your take on this issue?
