Poll: Most Americans Say Employers Should Cover Contraception
Religion News Service’s Daniel Burke reports on a new poll from LifeWay Research, which found that “almost two-thirds of Americans (63 percent) believe businesses should be required to provide [birth control] coverage for free, even if contraception conflicts with the owner’s religious ethics.” The Affordable Care Act includes requirements that most employers must provide the coverage, but many Catholic institutions, Christian colleges, and business owners are suing to block the mandate.
