WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says legislation in the
Senate that would give employers broad leeway to restrict coverage for
contraception is "dangerous and wrong."
Press secretary Jay Carney
took aim Monday at a bill by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida — a
possible GOP vice presidential candidate — and Democratic Sen. Joe
Manchin of West Virginia that would allow any employer to deny birth
control coverage if it runs counter to their religious or moral beliefs.
That's
far more expansive than allowing conscience protections just for
church-affiliated employers. President Barack Obama tried to get
religious employers to provide free birth control coverage before
backing off last week amid controversy and declaring such coverage would
be provided by insurance companies instead.
Carney said the Rubio bill is "absolutely the wrong approach."
