Obama Acts to Calm Furor on Birth Control Coverage Rule

On Friday February 10th, The New York Times reported on President Obama's new administration rule, making insurance companies responsible for offering free birth control to female employees. This new plan of action would also include insurance companies that are run by Roman Catholic hospitals.  After reading the article, I was happy that finally more emphasis would be placed on prevention, instead of assuming every pregnancy is wanted. This would bring the population rate down dramatically, and our tax dollars would not be used to fund the millions of families that are on a food stamp program. Furthermore, I believe the Catholic church  should not be allowed to have a say in how the government handles the new administration rule. They can voice their opinions, but ultimately they should not get to vote on the topic.
