Maine civil libertarians and women's health advocates are criticizing state Attorney General William Schneider's position on the controversial issue of access to birth control. They're asking Schneider to reconsider a decision earlier this month to sign on to a letter urging the Obama administration to reverse a provision of the Affordable Care Act which aims to ensure that women have free access to birth control. Schneider, though, says the federal rule forces religious employers, such as Catholic-run churches, hospitals and schools, to condone medical treatments that they oppose on moral grounds.
