House Republicans Target Contraception In Last-Minute Spending Bill

House Republicans are reportedly including a so-called "conscience clause" in the government funding bill they plan to approve Saturday night.

The measure would allow employers and insurers to opt out of providing health care services that they find morally or religiously objectionable. The addition reignites the debate over a portion of the health care reform law that requires most insurers to cover women's preventative health care, including contraception. CNN reports that the provision would allow them to opt out of coverage for the next year.

Women will still have to pay for coverage they won't be getting.

These busy body meddlers SAY they're against abortion but they're also against birth control. For the Rs, its all about taking rights away from Americans.

Note to rw Peeping Tom's - don't bother whining about the source unless you can prove that these fuckers are not trying to screw over women who dare to want to screw. And, since you rw's don't have sex, this really doesn't concern you.
