Universities Stop Health Coverage For Students:
Thanks to Obama Mandate

Everyone remembers Sandra Fluke's arguement for contraceptions to be included in Georgetown's health plan. Even though it goes against religious believes. As well as her claims that it is too expensive (which is completely false!). As well as the Obama's administration as to how it can help prevent ovarian cyst and making it sound like a cure all for women. Of course, the main reason is to prevent pregnancy. In terms of the cancer, it is not necessarily a preventative, it can help. Even so, it has also been proven to cause dangerous blood clots and other problems for women.

It's understandable that if a doctor deems that a woman needs birth control for a medical condition, fine. However, to just give out free birth control and say it's free, when the cost will be added somewhere (possibly tuition, which is unfair to those who are not going to use it or do not need it) is not right. It's actually an infringement of the school's rights.

Another point is, while Fluke and others argue for this and its importance, Obamacare does not offer breast cancer screenings or coverage for ovarian cancer. Yet, the supporters want free birth control and say they want to help women. Of course, the other question is, doesn't the beloved Planned Parenthood provide contraceptions for free?

The Universities are not only taking away coverage due to religion, but also because of increased costs. Even so, it must be hard for a private school to be told the plan must cover this and other things, including 'abortion-causing medications.' This should come as no surprise seeing as how one of the first laws signed by Obama was a pro-abortion one, and the fact that Washington has said full term abortion is ok.

This is another way for the administration to control things. For people who preach about separation of church and state, they sure like to infringe on the rights of the church and specific religious beliefs (also in the case of telling chaplains they cannot be a chaplain unless they perform homosexual marriages). In all, this administration has decided to challenge moral and Godly responsibilities, and they have no right to tell a private school or business what to cover. Especially when it is against their religious principles.
