President Obama approved the HHS rule announced two weeks ago that requires all Christian nonprofits - hospitals, schools, universities - to provide birth control and the morning-after pill for free. The morning-after pill prevents a fertilized egg from implanting; that is considered to be an abortion.
There was massive blowback, because the First Amendment provides free exercise of religion. And this forces Christians, particularly Catholics to violate their conscience. Even from Democrat senators and congressmen and liberal's liberal Chris Matthews pushed back.
So Obama changed his policy - to be the same. No change! Seattle Times
Original policy: Every employer must provide birth control and morning-after pill for free. Every employer uses insurance, so they must buy insurance that provides birth control and morning-after pill for free.
New compromise policy because Obama listened. Every insurer must provide birth control and morning-after pill for free. Every employer uses insurance, so they must buy insurance that provides birth control and morning-after pill for free.
Didn't you notice the difference? No. Because there is none.
"It's an accounting trick," said Mike Gonzales of the Heritage Foundation. "Do they think people are stupid?"
