Obama's birth control mandate


Obama administration recently ruled that religious institutions had to follow the same rules as other employers and offer free contraception as part of health insurance coverage. The idea that the government would force Catholic hospitals to subsidize birth control - or, to avoid the mandate, drop health insurance for their employees appalled many.

However, this change can be beneficial for many. Women face this problem more than men and this outrage against Obama’s mandate is unnecessary Many men would want to have sex without having babies, then why should the women who do not have the access to birth control pills or abortion pills suffer alone?

This kind of conservatism was faced back in the day. It is time that the society became more open to this problem and accepts this change.
