Supreme Court Takes Up Birth-Control Conscience Case Enlarge this image toggle caption J. Scott Applewhite/AP J. Scott Applewhite/AP The U.S. Supreme Court says it will consider whether employers should be allowed to opt out of providing contraceptive coverage to their workers because of moral or religious objections. Sponsor Message Brigitte Amiri, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's Reproductive Freedom Project, called the Trump administration rules "an attempt to rob people of their contraception coverage." Kristen Waggoner, an attorney with the religious liberty group the Alliance Defending Freedom, said the case could have far-reaching implications for other businesses and organizations that oppose providing contraception through their health plans. In a statement, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said, "Two federal courts have blocked the Trump Administration's rules because they would allow virtually any employer to deny women access to contraception for any reason—including the belief that women should not be in the workforce" and expressed hope that the Supreme Court would ultimately strike down the rules.
