Religious Leaders Ask HHS to Broaden Birth Control Exemption
posted on June 14, 2012A coalition of 149 religious leaders led by conservative Protestants petitioned the Obama administration, urging the expansion of the “exemption that allows churches and some religious organizations to avoid a controversial new mandate that all health care insurers provide free contraception coverage,” David Gibson reports for Religion News Service. The group sent a letter on Monday to Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius arguing the language in the mandate creates a “two-class system” when defining religious organizations.
