Obama Administration To Revise Accommodation for Certain Religious Non-Profits That Object to Contraception Rule
The Wall Street Journal: Obama Administration to Revise Part of Contraception Rule, by Louise Radnofsky:
Wheaton College Objected to Allowing Contraceptive Coverage to Be Provided by an Insurance Company
The Obama administration said Tuesday it will revise a compromise arrangement for religiously affiliated universities and charities that object to providing contraception in workers' health insurance plans, in response to a Supreme Court order earlier this month.
A majority of Supreme Court justices granted Wheaton College, an Illinois Christian school, a temporary reprieve from contraception coverage requirements in the Affordable Care Act on July 3. That was days after the high court ruled that closely held for-profit companies such as arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby should be allowed to opt out of the provision if their owners have religious objections to certain forms of birth control. . . .
