More than 100 American bishops have denounced the Obama administration's decision to require coverage of contraceptives in all health-care plans, with no exemption for Catholic institutions.
Thomas Peters of CatholicVote.org has compiled a list of the bishops who have spoken out, with links to most of their statements.
(Because bishops are still adding their statement to the growing list, the number in the headline above is probably already outdated.)
