UPDATE 4-Obama birth-control rule stokes election-year fight

House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner denounced President Barack Obama's new rule on contraceptives stating it was an attack on religious freedom and is vowing to overturn it. This seemed to only fuel the outcry from religious leaders in the Catholic Church and social conservatives over a requirement that they will be forced to provide health insurance plans that offer birth control to women. I wonder how much this issue might become part of reelection campaigns in Congress as well as for President.
