To clarify a point that has been brought up earlier, the mandate includes Plan B birth control that can be used as an abortificant if taken in a pregnancy. Thus many sources are claiming that the mandate does and doesn't include abortion (since it does not include abortion by surgical proceedure). So yes, this is a little more than condoms.
Again a significant number of Catholics would not consider 'morning after' methods of contraception an abortificant. Putting them on par with later term surgical abortions does some Catholic pro-lifers no good to their cause.
