    While this may be one of many issues and more important to some than others, the Republican candidates need to spend more time focusing on the failed attempt by obama to help our country. The sooner we get obama out of office the better for America! How can anyone who calls themselves an American support obama?????????

    If you are truly that concerned over having birth control with your insurance then don't go to work for a religious organization...stupid argument. If I was afraid of elephants I probably wouldn't apply at a zoo or circus. This is nothing more than Obama and the Dems trying to etch away a little more of our freedom. There are thousands of places to get free birth control...why would Obama go after the churchs?...thats the important argument. Don't be sheep; an attack on religious freedom is an attack on all freedoms. How long till Obama tells us how many kids we can have? If they get a foot in the door how long till they just kick it down!

    The "birth control" pill is essentially a hormone pill. It changes a women's chemistry to not only suppress ovulation but also the nature and severity of a their menstral cycle. A lot of women take this "pill" not for the former but the latter. No religous organization should deny ANY health care because it is not compatible with their dogma. Many parents of fringe religious beliefs have denied their children care to the point of death and then try to use their amendment rights to justify it. If the religious right thinks churches should be able deny certain health care then go ahead and look the other way when a death occurs. You'll just use the excuse that god intended it to happen anyway.

    My employer's insurance doesn't cover contraception. If it is covered by insurance, it doesn't mean you have to use it. It is a choice.

    "Prevention" in the medical space refers to a possible health situation that you don't have any control over. If a pregnancy were to cause a medical condition, then yes, these benefits should be offered. If you choose to use these benefits simply as a life-style choice, this is an "elective" type of situation and should not be covered by the insurance. No different from any other elective procedure that does not have a medical necessity.
