    Yesterday, President Obama’s HHS Secretary Sebelius praised what she called an administration “compromise” on the planned requirement  that will force employers to provide birth control for employees with no co-pays and deductions as part of their healthcare insurance. According to Sebelius, the administration has balanced religious concerns against its healthcare edict by giving religious employers such as Catholic universities and hospitals an additional year, until August of 2013, But religious leaders still see this as a new chapter in the Administration’s…

Condoms also require a lot of maintenance, don’t feel great, are expensive and not as effective as…
