Healthcare law protests over birth control coverage
Posted at: 02/03/2012 10:07 PM
President Obama's health care law is causing protest among religious groups, including the Catholic Church, with new requirements for birth control coverage.
Under the law, employers who offer health insurance to their employees will be required to cover the cost of birth control.
The White House says it's a matter of women's health.
Churches and other houses of worship will be exempt from that requirement.
But Catholic hospitals and universities, as well as other business will not.
That is because contraception goes against Catholic teachings and the Church says this requirement violates religious freedom.
