Planned Parenthood has sent out its reaction to the Obama administration’s compromise on contraception coverage by religious organizations. They believe the compromise does not cut access, but they promise to be vigilant in watching its implementation. From the statement:

“In the face of a misleading and outrageous assault on women’s health, the Obama administration has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring all women will have access to birth control coverage, with no costly co-pays, no additional hurdles, and no matter where they work.

 

“We believe the compliance mechanism does not compromise a woman’s ability to access these critical birth control benefits.

 

“However we will be vigilant in holding the administration and the institutions accountable for a rigorous, fair and consistent implementation of the policy, which does not compromise the essential principles of access to care.
