(RNS) The Obama administration has once again modified the rules on employers and workers’ access to free contraception, but some religious voices are no happier.

On Friday (August 22), the Department of Health and Human Services released the new regulations for the mandate requiring employers to provide insurance coverage that gives workers free access to 20 forms of contraception. The new rules are meant to comply with a recent Supreme Court ruling.
