The White House may be open to compromising on a new rule that requires religious schools and hospitals to provide employees with access to free birth control, a senior strategist for President Obama said on Tuesday morning.
David Axelrod, who serves as a top adviser to Mr. Obamas re-election campaign, said on MSNBCs Morning Joe program that the president would look for a way to address the vocal opposition from Catholic groups who say the rule forces them to violate their religious beliefs against contraception.
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 preventative care that they need and respects the prerogatives of religious institutions, Mr. Axelrod said.
