(Reuters) - Xavier University, one of the oldest Roman Catholic colleges in the United States, will cut off birth-control coverage for its employees in July, a move that has divided faculty members and students on the Cincinnati campus.

The abrupt cancellation of insurance benefits at the Jesuit university in Ohio comes amid a furious dispute between the Obama administration and the nation's Catholic bishops over contraception.

Well they have just cut off their noses to spite their faces.

They will truly wish they didn't do this.

Good for them. That will create at least 2000 more votes in Ohio for Barack Obama, maybe ten times that number. Let's hope more RWNJs do the same. Isn't this exciting,
this campaign about females and their rights? Beats the stories of the birthers.

The government chose to meddle in the affairs of religion. This is the backlash because they meddled. Separation of church and state swings both ways folks. I am glad that Xavier is going back to functioning as the church says they should as a catholic university.

Then this nation would loose 600 hospitals. Which the government can't afford to replace.
