Cert Denied In NY Case On Contraceptive Coverage For Faith-Based Groups

The U.S. Supreme Court today denied certiorari in Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany v. Dinallo, (Docket No. 06-1550) (Order list.) Yahoo News reports on the case in which New York's highest court upheld a provision in the state's Women's Health and Wellness Act that requires faith-based organizations to include contraceptive coverage for women in any prescription plan that they offer employees. (See prior posting.) Twenty-two other states have similar laws. [Thanks to Brad Pardee via Religionlaw for the lead.]
