As discussed elsewhere, the more that Republicans want to go to the mattresses on contraception, as opposed to religious freedom or mandate issues the more likely they will be to lose in the fall. That snapshot of the all-male "witness" table at that House hearing on Birth Control? Bad politics. Indeed it was. People should learn how to manage the news cycle. Take away an easy opposition talking point by having any of the numerous pro-life/anti-contraceptive women there. Utterly cynical of course but as Littlefinger(Game of Thrones) would tell you, go with what works! 
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
