Catholic Hospitals Push for Broader Conscience Exemption Over Birth Control
Catholic hospitals protest Obama health care reform coverage of birth control for employees. They argue the proposed conscience exemption is too narrow and would mainly cover houses of worship, affecting 640000 hospital employees and 5.6 million patients. Health officials invite public comment on a balance between access to contraception and religious beliefs.
