Catholic Nun Pleads with Biden to 'Fix' Contraception Ruling

In the Columbus Dispatch this morning, in advance of a Biden visit, Catholic nun and CEO of a Catholic health care service Judith Ann Karam pleads with Biden to help reverse the ruling:

"I ask the vice president to help Catholic and other faith-based employers with a recent federal action. We are very disappointed with the Health and Human Services rule on women’s preventive services that requires the inclusion of contraceptive coverage and sterilization in employer-based employee-benefits plans. The regulation denies adequate conscience protections for religious employers like us.

Our faith motivates us; we carry out the healing mission because of God’s call. And we are blessed to be joined in our ministry by a diverse and inclusive work force.

"Please fix this discriminatory rule," she asks.
