Since most Democrat voters are libertines, this is the policy they want - emergency birth control without restriction. Some still won't quite dare to say so, but they all want the law to read that way.
Of course they do, but that (unlimited abortion paid for by taxpayers) is not a popular position for most voters. The populist position is somewhere in the middle, i.e, restrictions on abortion and if you want one, don’t expect taxpayers to pay for it. Abortion is morally evil, but there is no popular will at this time to treat it like murder.
