Obama on Free-Birth-Control Mandate: 'That's Why We Passed This Law...We Are Going to Keep It' | CNSNews.com (CNSNews.com) – Touting the Obamacare "preventive services" regulation that requires virtually all health-care plans to provide women with cost-free sterilizations and contraceptives, President Barack Obama said Friday that providing women with free contraception saves money. Then, in an apparent jab at Catholic institutions and others who have asked him to rescind the regulation and who have sued arguing that it violates their First Amendment right to free-exercise of religion, Obama specifically pointed to the fact that the preventive services regulation mandates free contraception for female college students as one of the reasons "why we passed this law." "And we are going to keep it," he said defiantly.
