Obama backtracks on contraception mandate - Washington Times

Are we to be surprised the Obama is backtracking. Typical. He has been consistently disappointing .

Obama backtracks on contraception mandate - Washington Times: Reacting to an election-year firestorm, the White House on Friday shifted course on its health care contraception mandate, announcing that religious employers will not have to cover free birth control for their employees and that the responsibility would instead fall to private insurers.

President Obama announced the compromise designed to accommodate religious organizations, led by the U.S. Catholic Church, infuriated by the new rule that would have required them to provide free contraception and other birth control services to employees at faith-based hospitals, schools and organizations.
