By Chris Casteel, Washington BureauWASHINGTON — The Obama administration proposed new rules on Friday aimed at providing contraceptives to women who work for religious organizations and companies that object to financing some or all forms of birth control. The rules would require nonprofits, including religious colleges and hospitals, and closely held private companies, like Hobby Lobby, to inform the administration that they object on religious grounds to paying for contraceptive coverage. The administration would then inform the relevant insurance carriers to provide the coverage at no cost to the organization or company. The rule regarding for-profit companies was developed in the wake of the U.S.
