Why does the federal government want to control contraceptive choices?

In late November, President Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett wrote on the White House’s blog, and on Huffington Post, that, “A woman’s health care decisions should be in her own hands, not her boss.” I couldn’t agree more.

Odd then that the administration is trying to insert bosses, many of them against their deeply held religious beliefs, into the private health care decisions of women. Jarrett writes that, “The (Affordable Care Act) was designed to ensure that health care decisions are made between a woman and her doctor, and not by her boss, or Washington politicians.”
