Birth Control Compromise of the Day: Responding to the objections of religious groups, President Obama today announced an “accommodating” revision to the health care mandate that will allow women to receive free birth control irrespective of their employers’ personal conviction.
“[I]f a woman works for religious employers with objections to providing contraceptive services as part of its health plan,” the President said in his statement, ” the religious employer will not be required to provide contraception coverage, but her insurance company will be required to offer contraceptive care free of charge.”
Both the Catholic Health Association and NARAL Pro-Choice America approved of the compromise. The insurance industry has yet to issue a formal response, but White House officials reportedly consulted with insurers prior to the announcement.
Four more years.
This man, I tell you, god damn. This is my president.
