KALAMAZOO, MI (WTVB) - It isn’t often that the Catholic Bishop for Branch County and Southwest Michigan is the featured speaker at a protest rally, but Bishop Paul Bradley will be there today in Kalamazoo.

The noontime protest in Bronson Park is to specifically protest the Obama Administration’s insistence that the health insurers for certain catholic institutions provide access and coverage for contraceptives to those women who want them, recognizing that not all women who work at Hospitals like Borgess or Catholic schools are practicing Catholics.

The Church says it infringes on their religious freedom. The Kalamazoo Protest is part of a nationwide effort with rallies in about 100 cities nationwide
