    Take religion out of the discussion. How is providing contraceptive coverage in a health plan a breakthrough for women’s rights? I see it as another step towards socialism, where our government is telling a business how to run its business and develop their policy coverages. And the government is telling them to slash premiums to make medical coverage more affordable. Religion back in, I do not want to subsidize (in the form of premiums) birth control. This is not the way to control unwanted pregnancies, and it will have little to no effect on unwanted pregnancies. All this will do is reimburse responsible people for birth control that they are already buying, and will continue to buy, with or without medical coverage for it.

      Yeah? Well I don’t want to subsidize your inability to get a hard on. Viagra is covered by all of these policies and you seem to have no problem with that.

        What a well thought out, mature, concise comment TSOPOV. I hope you put as much thought and effort in your law office clients as you do your political ideology.

    it’s not a matter of rights. Of course women have the right to contraceptives. What they and the government don’t have is the right to require insurance companies to pay for it and provide it for free! Women’s Rights- ya right- what a ploy.

    All politics from all angles. GOP, democrats, and the church all playing political football by using a highly emotionally-charged subject. Really disheartening.

    Want a solution that doesn’t wreck employer-provided health care? Make traditional oral contraceptive available OTC.
