While the dissenters claim to be balancing competing goods, the secular argument is not
about goods at all: it says quite bluntly, "if you don't contracept, bad things will happen." It is utilitarian, pure and simple (Editor: Utilitarians are people who view things and actions principally in the light of whether or not they are "useful".) But as Janet Smith argues, the dissenters are also utilitarian: to "balance competing goods" amounts to doing a cost-benefit analysis.
