So just how is the Obama administration spinning the Supreme Court's decision that dealt it a devastating blow?
Now that President Barcack Obama can't force Hobby Lobby and other companies and businesses to pay for abortion-causing drugs, he's wanting to force Americans to pay for birth control and very early drugs that may cause abortions.

Now that President Barcack Obama can't force Hobby Lobby and other companies and businesses to pay for abortion-causing drugs, he's wanting to force Americans to pay for birth control and very early drugs that may cause abortions.
From the Daily Caller:
The White House has quickly converted the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision into a campaign-trail wedge issue, by calling on Congress to continue providing abortion-related drugs to a small number of women who work for Catholic employers.
Because of the court's decision, women "no longer have access to free contraception coverage… simply because of the religious views held by their bosses," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.
"That's the problem we want Congress to fix," he said, effectively setting the stage for Democrats to blame GOP legislators in the run-up to the November election. That pitch is likely aimed at Democratic-leaning young unmarried women, who are less likely to vote in midyear elections.
Earnest underlined the campaign theme by repeatedly describing women as helpless victims of their "bosses."
