In California, a federal judge has blocked an attempt by the Trump administration to weaken reproductive freedom and roll back parts of the Affordable Care Act by allowing employers to deny birth control coverage to female employees on moral or religious grounds. Judge Haywood Gilliam said the new Trump rules mean that states could “face potentially dire public health and fiscal consequences.” The court order, however, only applies to the 13 states and the District of Columbia, who brought the lawsuit. The new rules are set to go into effect elsewhere in the country today.
