I am speechless.
Yes, I know this is surprising (me speechless and all) but I am personally very happy about this!

Surprised me as well.
Have mixed feelings about the implications of the decision tho. On the one hand, it is a tremendous victory for the health care for all and especially for women.
On the other hand, I am fearful it will escalate the attacks on womens reproductive rights and womens sexuality in general.
From the Center for Reproductive rights: "Not surprisingly, the opponents of reproductive rights are furious about today's decision. The anti-choice group Americans United for Life just launched an alert rallying their supporters to "sustain the attack against tax-payer funded abortion." They've created the "Federal Abortion-Mandate Opt-Out Act"—which eight states have already used to block insurance plans currently covering abortion from receiving federal funding in their state exchanges."
Sigh.
