Looks like Obamacare requires that all health insurance plans, except those offered by churches, cover the cost of birth control. Catholics (well, staunch Catholics) aren't too happy about the whole requirement thing as they would rather not fund something that is against their religious beliefs. Looks like even though church were scoped out of the bill, any other religious institution does not have a similar exemption, so basically Catholic run charities, hospitals, and other nonprofits will be funding birth control. The White House is drawing the distinction between forcing someone to pay for something and forcing them to use the services. That's an interesting line to draw and I wonder if it will work.
In any case, this could be the issue that unites the religious right behind Romney, if/when he gets the nomination.
