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.

This is a First Amendment issue. The Obama Administration is attempting to tell faith-based organizations that they must provide "health care" products and services to their employees which the organizations consider morally, grievously wrong in clear violation of the "free exercise" clause of the First Amendment.
