WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court announced today it would review Trump v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which
is a challenge to the Trump Administration’s rules that allows
employers and universities to deny their employees and students
insurance coverage for contraception. The rule is blocked by a nationwide injunction.
“Allowing employers and universities to use their religious beliefs to block employees’ and students’ birth control coverage isn’t religious liberty — it's discrimination,” said Brigitte Amiri, deputy director at the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. “The Trump administration’s attempt to take away people’s insurance coverage for contraception is one of the administration’s many attacks on access to abortion and contraception, and we hope the Supreme Court will uphold the lower court’s ruling blocking this awful law.”
