February 7, 2012 White House May Look to Compromise on Contraception Decision By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
The White House may be open to compromising on a new rule that requires religious schools and hospitals to provide employees with access to free birth control, a senior strategist for President Obama said on Tuesday morning.
David Axelrod, who serves as a top adviser to Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign, said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program that the president would “look for a way” to address the vocal opposition from Catholic groups who say the rule forces them to violate their religious beliefs against contraception.
“We certainly don’t want to abridge anyone’s religious freedoms, so we’re going to look for a way to move forward that both provides women with the preventative care that they need and respects the prerogatives of religious institutions,” Mr. Axelrod said.
The comments come as last month’s decision has prompted a furor among religious groups while providing Mr. Obama’s Republican opponents with fresh ammunition to claim that the president wants the federal government to control the provision of health care.
Mitt Romney, the president’s likely Republican opponent in the fall, seized on the issue in a campaign appearance in Colorado late Monday evening.

The rope-a-dope play starts now....
NO COMPROMISE! FUBO! I have had it being told what is GOOD for me by this sad example of a President.
... so we’re going to look for a way to move forward that both provides women with the preventative care that they need and respects the prerogatives of religious institutions,” Mr. Axelrod said.
...so like the Keystone XL we’d like to look at this right after the next election.
We smoked out the fascist mindset of this Administration.
the cat is out of the bag.
you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
bye bye Obama the Dictator. go to China where you can dictate.
I wonder if the Catholics, Christians and Jews will be played again.
It never ends with those s.o.b.'s
It shouldn’t just be schools and hospitals let off the hook.
Suppose you were a Catholic businessman. Should you be forced to violate your conscience and supply abortificients to all your employees?
Hell, no! If they want to buy condoms and morning after pills, that’s their lookout. Medical insurance is supposed to be mainly for costly and unexpected emergencies, not for aspirins or condoms.
Once again King David will come to rescue the baby. lol
Lets send them all to Chicago come Jan. 2013, and David can prepare the pads for them all...
Exactly what I was thinking!
Anybody who sees this indication of “compromise” is either a damn fool or an ally of obastard.
We all know this is no more than a ploy to defuse the situation built to indicate to obastards loyal followers what he intends to do when re-elected.
Even the snake tells you not to trust him because he will bite you when he is able.
Politics pure and simple!

I am sure there will be some who willfully fall for it, if it happens, but it is only because they are blind and weak minded.
From the frying pan into the fire.
I can't wait to see an atheist group sue because they have been denied equal protection...and suing a godless commie admin at that.
The very LAST thing the commies want is a Federal Court decision on First Amendment grounds.
I realize the Catholic Church has a very narrow interest here...but if they believe America is the only nation on earth that can protect them from the Muslim Horde...they better get on board and ENSURE THIS GOES TO THE FEDERAL COURTS.
Incredible that THIS was posted on May 12, 2009!!!!!!

BTTT!! My sentiments exactly!
“We certainly don’t want to abridge anyone’s religious freedoms, so we’re going to look for a way to move forward that both provides women with the preventative care that they need and respects the prerogatives of religious institutions,” Mr. Axelrod said.
So generous of you, Mr. Axelrod, to consider allowing some aspect of rights which used to be endowed by our Creator. It should be no surprise to us, since obama let it slip that we are now just endowed (by the state?)with certain rights.

To read this fantasy woven by the New York Times “reporter” one would think that the Catlicks and rightwing nuts simply want to withhold rubbers and IUDs from poor women.
