Contraceptive Coverage & The Catholic Church


The video cannot be displayed.

Catholic leaders and the president are at odds over requiring Catholic organizations to cover contraception for employees, despite last week's compromise. Carol Marin and her panel take up the debate on Chicago Tonight at 7:00 pm.

Last Friday, President Obama announced a new policy to ensure that women have access to free preventive care, including contraception, no matter where she works. Religious employers will not be required to provide contraception, but insurance companies will be required to directly provide it to all women, free of charge. Watch the president's remarks in the video below.
