Report: White House To Announce Birth Control Accommodation For Religious Orgs

The White House has been signaling a willingness to work with church-affiliated organizations on implementing the rule ever since the religious and conservative backlash to it rose to the surface in the past several days. Today’s announcment could provide a sense of how wide a berth these religious groups will be given.
