At the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Sen. Hatch, “Sandra Fluke told Congress that birth control can cost more than $3,000 during law school for a woman whose insurance doesn’t cover it. Yet the Target [store] just three miles from Georgetown’s campus offers a month’s supply of birth control pills for $9 even for women whose insurance doesn’t cover it. Was her testimony accurate, do you think?”
Hatch said, “I’m not an authority on it [but] all I can say is that I haven’t met many women who have had difficulty getting birth control medications. And that’s not the issue. I don’t know anybody who really wants to make that the issue, except the Democrats.”
“The issue is can you impose upon religious institutions, who have very deep-felt moral issues, an obligation to violate their moral consciences?” said Hatch. “That’s the real issue here.”
