The Obama administration on Monday took an aggressive stance defending access to contraception, saying President Barack Obama's health care law requires insurance companies to cover every type of birth control. In recent weeks, pressure has been on the administration to address the issue from groups like the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and the National Women's Law Center, as well as from some members of Congress. The guidelines issued by the administration Monday clarified that health plans must cover at least one form of contraception under each of the FDA-approved types, of which there are 18.
This is a huge step toward women's rights, in my opinion. Any women can now receive birth control under no circumstance. There is really nothing to stand in the way of any woman receiving birth control because now all insurance companies must cover birth control.
