David Axelrod, a senior adviser to Obama’s reelection campaign, seemed to suggest early in the day on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that the White House might be open to a compromise on the matter.
“We certainly don’t want to abridge anyone’s religious freedoms, so we’re going to look for a way to move forward that both provides women with the preventive care that they need and respects the prerogatives of religious institutions,” he said.
His comments sparked immediate concern among Democratic lawmakers, who worried that the White House was poised to bend to its critics.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (Calif.), one of a number of Democratic lawmakers who had lobbied Obama to keep the religious exemption narrow, called Axelrod for assurances that his remarks reflected no change of heart. The presidential adviser was “very clear” that “this decision is the same as it was before,” Boxer said.
