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.

2. The birth control mandate has been stalled. Now let's kill it

From The Washington Examiner: Expanding the exemption to the birth control mandate is good, eliminating the mandate altogether would be better.

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

From the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: Expansion of the exemption is a victory for those who oppose being forced to pay for something they find morally wrong, says Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
