The Wall Street Journal editorializes: \”The amendment had nothing to do with a \’ban\’ on contraception, or any of the other delusions and distortions of the left.

The Blunt amendment would merely have let those religious-affiliated institutions provide coverage without paying for care that violates their religious conscience. The real offense against freedom and women is the mandate.\”
