Back in 2012, when Romney was making Obamacare's employer mandate to cover birth control in health insurance policies a thing,
polling showed that he was barking up the wrong tree. Even with Catholics. That Public Religion Research Institute showed 55 percent support for the mandate. That support is still there,
and stronger than ever.
Most Americans—69 percent—support the requirement that health insurance plans pay for birth control, a new survey shows. […]
"Overall, 69 percent of respondents supported mandated coverage of birth control medications in health plans, with significantly higher odds of support among women, black, and Hispanic respondents," they wrote in a report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
While 77 percent of women support the mandate, a very respectable 64 percent of men do, too. The least amount of support is in the group that has the least need for it, people 60 and older. But still, 62 percent of them believe health insurance plans should include birth control. African Americans register the highest degree of support at 81 percent, followed by Hispanics at 76 percent.
Unfortunately the survey that matters most right now politically, with the Hobby Lobby challenge to the law being considered right now, is what five old men on the Supreme Court think.
