These rulings, taken in conjunction with a decision last week in which the Supreme Court greatly hindered the ability of states to restrict taxpayer funding of private religious schools, show a court that has embraced a dangerous interpretation of religious freedom

“Today the Supreme Court put its stamp of approval on the Trump administration’s exploitation of religious freedom at the expense of birth control coverage for workers, students and their families," AU CEO Rachel Laser said. "It’s 2020: We should not have to say again that birth control is essential to people’s health and equality. Religious freedom includes the right to believe as you see fit, not to impose your beliefs on or discriminate against others."

AU President and CEO Rachel Laser reflects on how, during the Supreme Court oral arguments on Trump's harmful birth control rules, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg showed up yet again as a fierce advocate for women and religious freedom.
