Pennsylvania and the consolidated case. The issue before the Court was the Trump administration’s new rules expanding the number of organizations that can file for religious or moral exemption from the health care law’s birth control mandate. Under the Affordable Care Act, contraceptive coverage for women is required of company employee insurance plans. Nonprofit religious employers, however, can file an accommodation form to be exempt for their religious beliefs.

Lawsuits soon followed including the two cases in this consolidated oral argument. On July 8, 2020, the Supreme court ruled 7-2 that employers can opt out of the birth control mandate.
