Fox’s own national poll finds top-heavy public support for offering birth control coverage in health plans.

By a 61-34 percent margin, those surveyed this week approve of the Obama administration requiring all employee health plans to provide birth control coverage as part of health care for women.

Sixty-seven percent of women surveyed, and 65 percent of Catholic women, supported the contraception/birth control requirement. Fifty-three percent of men surveyed endorsed birth control coverage.

In the Fox poll 58 percent of Catholics endorsing birth control coverage. It tracks almost exactly with a survey by the Public Religion Research Institute released earlier this week. It, too, found that 58 percent of Catholics were in approval....

(PS: 28 states *already* have laws on their books requiring health insurance plans sold in their states to cover contraceptive services. A typical loophole found in several of them, [for example: Georgia's law says this], is that health insurance plans DO NOT HAVE TO OFFER COVERAGE for prescription contraceptives --- JUST SO LONG as they do not cover any other prescription drugs either. :-)
