Catholic hospitals reject birth control compromise

Sharpening an election-year confrontation over religious freedom and government health insurance rules, the nation's Catholic hospitals on Friday rejected President Barack Obama's compromise for providing birth control coverage to their women employees.

As Catholic,Religious Institutions,they very likely have this right.I don;t agree;and,hope that their policies will eventually change.I believe that the health and life of the mother takes precedence.It is very interesting that these laws are implemented most exclusively by men.Women are also created in the Image and Likeness of God,Almighty.I wonder when most men will accept this Fact?

They do have the right to their religious freedom but at the same time I don't like them trying to impose their beliefs on others because they don't agree with free preventative care and is against abortion. Men will only keep believing we were made from a rib.

Modern interpretation of the term "rib"is used to mean DNA.I can accept that.However,when woman "became apart from man;"the most human like attributes were also taken from man and given to woman[this certainly does explain why many men act the way they do].

..... In countries that have separation between State and religion there should be a definite boundary between the responsibilities of the state and of religion. Clergy should not meddle in matters of state if they do not want politicians to meddle in religion.
