POLL: Do You Agree With Obama's New Birth Control Policy?

Let us know what you think.

President Obama today announced he is changing his health-care rule regarding birth control in order to ease the concerns of some religious organizations, the Washington Post reports.

"Women still will be guaranteed coverage for contraceptive services without any out-of-pocket cost, but will have to seek the coverage directly from their insurance companies if their employers object to birth control on religious grounds," according to the Post.

That will allow religiously-affiliated non-profit employers to provide insurance plans that exclude birth-control coverage.
