Stanley Carlson-Thies at the Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance notes that the Obama-Sebelius HHS Department finalized the offending "contraceptives" mandate rule "without any changes at all" but points out that "after months of resistance, the administration now concedes that it cannot limit its accommodation of religious concerns only to churches." Mr. Obama has promised to expand the religious exemption — probably not before the presidential election — but it is "not encouraging that the administration several times already has insisted that one or another very limited religious freedom accommodation was all that was needed or approporiate."
