Catholic universities have got their rosaries in a bunch over a provision in the Affordable Care Act that would require them to do something that makes the baby Jesus cry- outfit their students and employees with insurance plans that would cover hormonal birth control.
We all know the benefits of birth control pills: they're safe, effective, regulate your period (hello, cramps and flow!), help fight acne, and when taken properly, prevent pregnancy. Your hormones are under control, the sun is shining and birds are chirping your favorite song.
"The average woman spends 30 years of her life trying to avoid getting pregnant." Well, when you put it that way. From that campaign we told you about, pushing for full coverage of birth control under health-care reform. Petition here.
