Compromise on birth control

This week the White House is revising the health care rule Obama put in place in the Affordable Care Act insurance policy concerning contreceptives for employees. The health care rule requires guaranteed coverage for women from their insurance companies for contreceptives including birth control and the morning after pill. This requirement caused major upset for religious employers saying it violates their teachings. This article by the Washing Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/white-house-to-announce-adjustment-to-birth-control-rule/2012/02/10/gIQArbFy3Q_story.html?hpid=z1 goes into detail how Obama plans to satisfy both sides of this issue. Those like myself would believe that this birth control rule is a great addition to health care policies because as we've seen teen mom rates are high and while abortion, which is a bigger issue, could be avoided with contreceptives being easily available and affordable to those women who need it. As of now these religious employers are mandated to subsidize the cost of contreceptives. These institutions argue that this isnt a fair request when they believe it is intrinsiclly wrong. These institutions mainly the Catholic church have berated Obama with a firestorm of critism. The Obama administration is now going to "modify" their position. I think this article is important not only to all American women that it directly affects but everyone, with the election coming up its telling to see how Obama quickly decided to satisify the Catholic church by including some sort of exemption for religious employers. Under political pressure and of course the upcoming election looming Obama is in a position to try and please all. Whether you agree or disagree with the original policy it will be changing to give leeway to to accomodate all religious organizations.
