White House seeks to soothe concerns over contraception rule - The Washington Post
David Axelrod, a senior adviser to Obamas reelection campaign, seemed to suggest early in the day on MSNBCs Morning Joe that the White House might be open to a compromise on the matter.
We certainly dont want to abridge anyones religious freedoms, so were 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.
