Biden said Obama administration will ultimately modify the rule to place the mandate burden in insurance companies to offer women free birth control and drugs that may cause abortions, but religious employers will still have to refer them.

“The President ended up exactly where he intended and where he began, which was that… every woman in America should be able to have insurance coverage for birth control if she so chooses,” Biden said.
