Yeah, right. He’ll back off now, then really come after anyone who dared oppose him in his second term:

Why should any employer have to pay for contraception of their female employees?

The contraception is not “Free”, someone pays for it. It will also drive the cost up. As usual with government employers now have a reason to discriminate against employing women. At least on the low level. There’s a cost.

Good old government, sticking a gun in your face and forcing you to do things they have no right to do.

Agreed. Giving ground now leaves the AUTHORITY in place to institute a similar mandate (or an even more egregious mandate) in the future.

Unless Americans work to get this unpopular law repealed there will be similar fights (won and lost) into the foreseeable future. All the time the law does nothing to improve healthcare or lower costs.
