On Friday, President Obama announced an ‘accommodation’ had been reached on a new government rule mandating coverage of birth control options for women. Instead of forcing employers to pay for such options regardless of institutional beliefs, Obama now says insurance companies will be required to pay for it without charging businesses or individuals higher premiums. Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold was appalled by the first draft of the rule and he’s just as unimpressed with the new version. Farenthold says birth control options are not expensive and he says there’s a genuine question as to whether contraception is a women’s health issue. He says beyond that, this is a classic case of religious freedom being infringed and a textbook case of the government making decisions in areas where it doesn’t belong.
