BREAKING VIA AP: "A person familiar with the decision says President Obama will announce a plan to accommodate religious employers outraged by a rule that would require them to cover birth control for women free of charge."

inothernews:

Announcement set for later today.

And no, I don’t think that’s a run on sentence. But I could be wrong.
