I wish the parents of some of the posters here would have used birth control.

I don't consider myself to be religious but I am highly opposed to more government control over what we, the citizens, should or should not be forced to do. Government has no business being involved in birth control. If institutions and businesses are forced to add this to their insurance plans, it will increase the premiums which ultimately will mean more money withheld from the employees' paychecks.

dana2; this is not about people being on their "religious high horse"; it's about religious freedom, one of our Constitutional Rights by the way. Read it lately? Next they will want our guns; Free men own guns, slaves do not. Rantoulet; you are so right ( chris2emily; notice how to correctly spell the word right? ) Boners do rule; from the White House, The Halls of Congress, and the High Court.

So I guess it's ok for the Catholic church to say NO to paying for birth control for women but it's ok for men to get their Viagra? Boners rule!

not all birth control is taken for that reason, there are several medical issues that may require it. Insurance should cover it, it is a personal choice if you do/do not want to take birth control. so get off your relgious high horse and stay out of it.
