Another Court Enjoins Enforcement of Contraceptive Mandate Against Religious Non-Profits

In yet another case, after the Trump Administration has taken the position that the Obama era contraceptive coverage mandate under the Affordable Care Act violates the religious freedom rights of objecting religious non-profits, a court has enjoined enforcement of the mandate.  In Association of Christian Schools International v. Azar, (D CO, Dec. 10, 2018), a Colorado federal district court held that the mandate violates plaintiffs' rights under RFRA. The Hill reports on the decision. The Trump Administration's new rules exempt objecting religious non-profits.
