In Roman Catholic Diocese v. Emami, (Docket No. 20-1501, GVR, 11/1/2021) (Order List) the U.S. Supreme Court today granted certiorari, vacated the judgment below and remanded the case to New York's Appellate Division for further consideration in light of Fulton v. Philadelphia. Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch would have granted full review of the New York decision. In the case, the New York court rejected a challenge by several religious organizations and other plaintiffs to a New York administrative regulation requiring health insurance policies in New York to provide coverage for medically necessary abortion services. (See prior posting.) Becket Law issued a press release discussing the Court's action.
