Overall, 69% of respondents supported mandated coverage of birth control medications in health plans, with significantly higher odds of support among women, black, and Hispanic respondents. Support for mandated coverage of birth control medication was lower than for other benefits, including services that have prompted public debate (eg, vaccination and mental health services). The small group who supported coverage for services except birth control medication included a higher proportion of persons unlikely to use such coverage.
Amazing numbers in support of Obamacare's contraception coverage. Thanks, Obamacare!
From the Journal of the American Medical Association:

The small group who supported coverage for services except birth control medication included a higher proportion of persons unlikely to use such coverage.
In other words, even among a self selecting group highly in favor of expanded benefits the support for mandatory birth conrtol is lower than other benefits that are equally stupid.Most respondents (69%; 95% CI, 67%-72%) supported a policy of mandated coverage of birth control medication in health plans. This proportion was significantly lower than the proportion that supported other benefits (Table 1). In multivariable regression analysis, support for mandated coverage of birth control medication was significantly higher among women, non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, parents with children younger than 18 years living in the home, and adults with private or public insurance vs comparison groups (Table 2), but was not associated with education or income.
