Although he voted in support of an amendment to the Senate transportation bill that would give employers the option to not offer health plans that cover birth control, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey told The Daily Caller he has been a “strong supporter” of federal funding for contraceptives.
“Well, I supported [the amendment], but I also think the sides need to come together and work out an agreement, because there is a way that you can bring the sides together to make sure that number one, that you respect those religiously affiliated institutions in their mission and at the same time make sure that every employee of those same institutions get the coverage that they need — not just for a broad array of health care services, but including contraception,” Sen. Casey, a Catholic, told TheDC at an event Wednesday night where Comcast launched new minority-owned independent networks.
“I’ve been a strong supporter of contraception, also the funding for it, and I think there’s a way to do that, but unfortunately, you had a collision and a battle in Congress, but I still think that it can still be worked out. It will take some time but it can be worked out.”
