Wrap: The Senate business committee has passed a bill on Tuesday allowing businesses to not provide insurance coverage for birth control or abortion --- if it's against the employer's religious beliefs.

A spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Missouri says medical treatments would be even more difficult to access.
The committee passed the bill by a six to two vote along party lines.
