Hillary Clinton joined many Democrats in focusing on the employees instead. “It is very troubling that a salesclerk at Hobby Lobby who needs contraception — which is pretty expensive — is not going to get that service through her employer’s health care plan because her employer doesn’t think she should be using contraception,” Clinton said. “Many more companies will claim religious beliefs, and some will be sincere, but others maybe not. And we’re going to see this one insurable service cut out from many women.” And so much for not reliving 2012, when the GOP’s rhetoric over reproductive issues allowed the Democrats to accuse their opponents of waging a war on women. Treating access to birth control so dismissively may play to the primary voters Jindal’s now targeting. But among the larger electorate, it’s a losing strategy. Jindal was right about that the first time, too.
