The Pros And Cons Of Birth Control Coverage

Many establishments believe that to allow birth control coverage, you are contributing to the violation of religious principles of certain governing organizations. There has been much of a heated debate for this issue for some time, and as expected, has offended many people and put many in hardships that count on this coverage to support themselves through life’s obstacles. Are these particular establishments really calling themselves ethical amidst this decision to ban the right for these students to get assistance for birth control? Ethics and good governance go hand in hand, the relationships between leaders, systems of ethics regulation and their behaviors have proved that they have put their personal beliefs above caring for their students,
