These birth control regulations are already the law in several states, and they didn't utter even a peep about them when they controlled both houses of Congress and the White House and could do something about it. Nor, have they done anything to reverse the fact that many businesses already cover contraception for their employees. They didn't care about it until the Catholic bishops brought attention to the issue with their hissy fit over the new mandate in "Obamacare".
The reason they are still dragging out this debate is to distract us from the fact that every last one of the candidates they are running to replace President Obama is either batshit crazy, or just flatly unlikeable for all the reasons people detest Mitt Rmoney. They also want to distract people from the fact that the economy is improving despite the fact that they have been obstructing everything the President has tried to do. They have no plans to help the people of this country, and everything they have been doing over the past three years shows that they don't give a shit about us. More and more people are onto them now, and they know it. This is more desperation than an intended assault on women's rights. The latter is just icing on the cake.
