The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the Trump administration rule expanding the ability of employers to decline to include contraceptive coverage in health insurance plans by citing religious or simply moral grounds.

Problem: The injunction applies in only five states that challenged the rule. Arkansas, of course, is not one of those.

I’d be interested to hear of any Arkansas employers who are refusing the free contraceptive coverage required by Obamacare (with an exemption for religious organizations.)

The rule means the loss of free birth control to millions of women.
