'' A federal judge in Pennsylvania has temporarily blocked implementation of the Trump administration’s new birth-control rules, which create broad religious and moral exemptions for employers seeking not to provide employees contraceptive health coverage.
U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone became the first to move on the new rules, which were issued in October and immediately implemented. The rules created a sweeping exemption for employers who object to the Obama-era mandate that employers must cover contraception without copayments or other out-of-pocket costs..."
Only the first skirmish in what will be a protracted legal battle. The Trump rule would exempt publicly owned companies from the birth control mandate if there is a moral or religious objection. But really--how can a corporation that is owned by, let's say, 2 million shareholders, have one, individual moral or religious opinion? The idea is preposterous. It deserves to be trashed.
The Trump rule is nothing more than pandering to religious conservatives. Seems like their mantra is: "Control women. Not guns."
Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Administration’s Birth-Control Rule
BTW: Judge Wendy Beetlestone. Is that not a great name? Sounds like a character in a Harry Potter novel.
