Expansion of birth control exemption was blow for religious freedom, the Right says
A roundup of editorials Monday congratulates the administration for striking a blow for religious liberty by expanding the exemption to providing birth control under the Affordable Care Act.
Opinions from the Right:
1. A win for freedom of conscience
From The National Review: Companies that do not wish to provide contraceptive coverage in health care plans shouldn’t have to, and the administration did the right thing in rolling the provision back.

3. The birth control rollback is a win for religious freedom
