About a month ago, in one of several culture-war television ads, the Romney campaign went after President Obama over contraception access. After asking which candidate “shares your values,” the Republican spot said the contraception issue represents a “war on religion.”
We haven’t heard too much about this since — Team Romney continues to experiment with different issues and messages — but access to birth control remains an important focus.
GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan sees no place for the Obama Administration’s contraception mandate.
At a Saturday campaign event in Orlando, Fla., the Associated Press reports that Ryan was asked about whether he would press Vice President and fellow Catholic Joe Biden on his views in relation to the 2012 Democratic Party platform.
Ryan’s answer turned straight to the piece of Obamacare providing birth control access. He vowed to remove that requirement for insurance providers, including Catholic hospitals and universities, on “day one.”
