Women Overwhelmingly Oppose Birth Control Limits

March 24, 2014 at 4:42 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

A new Hart Research poll finds that 68% of U.S. women voters oppose allowing corporations to refuse to cover contraception in their health plans because of religious objections.

Key findings: “Women of all demographics overwhelmingly support the provision of the Affordable Care Act requiring employers to cover contraception and other preventive health services for women, including 92% of Democrats, 83% of independents, 63% of Republicans and 79% of Catholics.”
