A U.S. district court decided on Wednesday to strike down a 2017 federal regulation that exempted religious employers from the Affordable Care Act’s mandate for employer-sponsored health insurance to cover the cost of contraception.
If the ruling holds, religious non-profit organizations such as the Little Sisters of the Poor may now be required to file for an accommodation process with the government that still maintains employees’ access to contraception without the religious organization having to pay. For-profit employers would have access to no religious exemption from the mandate whatsoeve

These companies need to tell the government that employees who want contraception can bill the Congress insurance plan.

“ If the ruling holds”
It won’t.
So of course trash, garbage leftists will target them. Conform, or be destroyed.
Rip the ACA out by the roots and declare abortion to be murder, which is what it is.
The very first right declared by the Declaration of Independence is “…the right to life…”.
Lefties argue that it is not law because it’s not in the Constitution, yet the first session of Congress adopted the Declaration, which makes it the law unless and / or until Congress decides to revoke the adoption of the Declaration.
It should be argued that every abortion that’s been committed has been illegal.
It’s very simple, just leave the little kids alone.
Next stop Supreme Court?

I feel sorry for the gentle followers of organized religion who sacrifice everything while brutal dictators and corrupt governments take away their freedom to do further good.
All religious people live at the mercy of the political leaders over them. To say better luck next time after death as they get killed off by political leaders actually makes the religious look like weak and sad losers.
The saints and doctors of the Church usually died in agony from illness or being violently martyred. 31 of the first 35 Popes were murdered.
The X shape of St. Andrews Golf Course symbolizes the X shape crucifixion of Andrew (60 AD). St. Stephen stoned in public. Among the most common methods: flaying and removing the skin, scourging, being pressed to death under heavy weights, having body parts removed, or being killed by animals.
We don’t know why God allows the good to be stepped on by the powerful, mighty evil.
I believe the Bible declares it to be murder & that should be the first law that applies. Rightly, it supercedes other laws.

I agree, thank you.
In a nationwide ruling against a Trump Administration religious conscience rule, a federal district court in Philadelphia today sided with Pennsylvania and New Jersey in their years-long effort to force the Little Sisters of the Poor—an order of Catholic nuns who care for the elderly poor—to either provide abortion and contraceptives in their healthcare plan or pay tens of millions of dollars in fines.
In Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court in 2020 upheld a federal rule protecting the Little Sisters and other religious groups from the federal government’s contraceptive mandate. But Pennsylvania and New Jersey have continued to fight in court to strip the Little Sisters of that protection.
Today’s ruling keeps that effort alive, and the Little Sisters have vowed to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

This is exactly why the ACA was written the way it was, to attack opponents.
Repeal the ACA!
