Trump Administration’s New Rules Targeting Birth Control and Abortion – Rolling Stone

Trump’s Department of Health and Human Servicesquietly finalized two rulesempowering employers, universities and nonprofits to refuse birth control coverage to women.

A third rule, also announced Wednesday, would require insurers on the Affordable Care Act marketplace to charge women a separate monthly bill for abortioncoverage — a change that advocates say would be so prohibitively expensive it could force insurers to stop offering the procedure altogether.

Under the Obama administration, only certain churches and religious organizations were exempt from an ACA provision requiring employers to offer insurance plans with coverage for birth control.

The new rules, set to take effect in January 2019, would make it much easier for any organization to deny coverage — all they have to do is claim they have “sincerely held religious beliefs” or “non-religious moral convictions” against birth control.

The new rules make any coverage, essentially, voluntary: “Entities that object to covering some, but not all, contraceptive items would be exempt with respect to only those methods to which they object.”

In October 2017, a few months after Trump issued an executive order broadening the definition of “religious liberty,” Sessions issued guidance to all federal agencies explaining how they could legally apply the new executive order.

HHS first debuted the birth control rules at that time, last October, but they fumbled the rollout, trying to rush them through without a federally mandated notice and comment period. Multiple lawsuits followed, and judges in two states issued preliminary injunctions blocking the rules. It’s unclear at this point what bearing those cases, both of which are ongoing, will have on the rules finalized Tuesday.

I didn't know abortions were covered under health insurance to begin with.

Birth control should be covered, tho.

[I Really Mean It]

White nationalists need to reinvigorate the population and increase the numbers of white women having multiple children. This is to be expected when playing a game of chess, a tactical move for long term gains, helping the white population counter the surging amount of non-white births turning this nation darker by each generation. But black people will still vote for people strategically placing genocidal abortion clinics in our neighborhoods.
