About this sermon
This week, the Biden Administration is proposing a new rule on contraception. It would allow millions of people on private health insurance to pick up free condoms, birth control pills or "morning after" pills from local storefronts without a prescription. The Catechism of the Catholic Church calls contraception a "morally unacceptable" form of birth regulation, adding that every action that "proposes to render procreation impossible" is "intrinsically evil". This proposal requires insurance companies to remove the prescription requirement for coverage of contraception. Policy analyst with the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Natalie Dodson, joins to tell us what this means in practical terms. The White House calls this "The most significant expansion of contraception coverage under the Affordable Care Act in more than a decade". Dodson shares why they are doing this now. She discusses whether there has been any pushback or response from faith leaders or Republican lawmakers. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
