There has been a decision made on contraceptives in the Catholic Church. This article here tells the story.....

The idea behind this issue stems from the Catholic Church not believing in birth control as part of their religion while the government is arguing that every employed person should have access to contraceptives. So the idea behind this policy was to give employees in the Catholic Church an option through the insurance that covers contraceptives, thus giving the employee and not the employer the power to decide whether to use them or not. A compromise was made essentially, while many oppose this idea, personally I agree with the bill. It gives employees access to contraceptives and gives them the right to make personal decisions without forcing the Catholic Church to require it. I strongly believe in compromise as it is the very idea that our country was founded on.
