Chart of the Day

At the Dish:


Who on earth are the Republicans targeting with their war on contraception?  I just don't understand.

From Balloon Juice:
Because of this:

Today’s New York Times/CBS poll asks: “Do you support or oppose a recent federal requirement that private health insurance plans cover the full cost of birth control for their female patients?”
This is Obama’s new accommodation policy, which the Blunt amendment would roll back completely and go considerably further in the process. Sixty six percent support this federal requirement; only 26 percent oppose it.
CBS’s polling team sends over a partisan breakdown of the answers, and it’s even more striking:
  • Even Republicans support this policy, 50-44.
  • Independents support it by 64-26.
  • Moderates support it by 68-22.
  • Women support it by 72-20.
  • Catholics support it by 67-25.
  • And even Catholics who attend church every week or almost every week support it by 48-43.
Crazy.
