Bishops Reject Obama Administration Contraception Rule Compromise

Bishops Reject Contraception Rule Change by Jennifer Hakerkorn and Kathryn Smith.  Politico.  February 7, 2013.

The bishops, emphasizing a religious liberty claim for religious affiliated organizations, rejected a "narrow" definition of a religious organization in favor of a definition that includes religiously affiliated hospitals, educational institutions, under the place-of-worship" exemption allowed by the law.  Planned Parenthood leaders stated that it was now clear that the bishops would not rest until women are denied access to birth control.
