The executive order could also be interpreted to eliminate Obama requirements requiring that contraceptives be provided in all plans without a copayment
Without the mandate Health Insurance premiums will rise for anyone not insured by Medicaid or through their jobs. And costs for contraception went up for everyone so that will lead to additional pregnancies in lower income populations.
So yes on day 1 he has done that. It's impressive he was able to do it so quickly.
