Birth control coverage
After reading this weeks readings on birth control and whether companies should cover it or not I found myself thinking a lot about the issue. I believe that no matter the companies religion they should cover it. The right to freedom of speech applies until it starts impinging on someone else's freedom, which is exactly what these companies are doing. They are denying women the right to contraception and pushing their beliefs onto them regardless what they want. The financial burden of contraception and reproductive health today falls unfairly on the women. In the article on birth control written by Sarah Mirk it states that women pay 68 percent more on out of pocket health care costs than men. An issue that needs to be addressed and changed!
