Judge Blocks Trump Birth Control Rollback From Taking Effect in 13 States, DC
14th January 2019
The Department of Health and Human Services created rules allowing employers to opt out of birth control coverage due to religious or moral objections. Employers otherwise have to offer health insurance that covers a range of birth control options, from the pill to intrauterine devices to emergency contraception, at no cost to patients.
The decision to block the rules from taking effect was issued Sunday by Judge Haywood Gilliam, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama and previously blocked an interim version of the exemptions.
Stalin reputedly once said that it didn’t matter who voted, it mattered who counted the votes. Similarly one might with equal justice say that it doesn’t matter what the law is, what matters is how it is enforced.
