New Pres. Bush Proprosal May Stop Catholic Employers from Paying for Employees' Contraception

California passed a law in 2000 to require health insurance plans to cover oral contraceptives for women, as many were already covering viagra for male employees and denying payment for the contraceptives.

Dept of Health and Human Services Considers Conscience Clause on Abortion

Catholic Exchange reports,
"Abortion advocates are predictably outraged by this development, calling it a “restriction of reproductive rights,” an “act of complicity with the religious right,” among other things. A few of the more astute among them, however, have noticed the deeper threat to their cause, for the new regulations call hormonal contraceptives “abortifacients” — which they are — and talk about pregnancy beginning at conception — which it does. Both positions are anathema to Planned Parenthood and its minions."
