Obama slams Republicans over War on Women

President Barack Obama took a jab at his Republican foes over women’s rights, saying they always wanted less regulation except when it comes to health issues.

Defending his policies for women, Obama pointed to his signature health reform law, without mentioning that its fate hangs in the balance ahead of a Supreme Court decision due in June.

“Change is the health care reform we passed after a century of trying that finally gives women more power to make their own choices about their health care,” Obama said at an event organized by the Women’s Leadership Forum, a Democratic group.

“And this year, women will receive new access to recommended preventive care like domestic violence screening and contraception at no additional cost.”
