A new rule set to take force next year has been put into place through the Obama administration and the Department of Health and Human Services which will require all employers, even ones that are opposed to the idea, to provide free birth control medication to their employees. At issue is not so much the right of an employer to withhold health care benefits based on religious beliefs, but the rights of individuals to be afforded those benefits regardless of their employer. Religious organizations will have one year to comply with the new rule.
