Opinion: California's battle with Trump over contraception isn't just about contraception (via latimesopinion)
California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra’s many lawsuits against the Trump administration are policy fights, at the simplest level — legal battles by a blue state to impede a Republican president’s deregulatory and socially conservative agenda.
The administration didn’t pull the exemptions out of the blue; instead, it was reacting to Supreme Court decisions and orders that struggled to conform the contraception rules with the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which limits the federal government’s ability to impose requirements that conflict with individuals’ religious practices.
“But nothing in the statute permits the agencies to determine exemptions from the requirement,” the panel wrote. In other words, it said, the HRSA gets to determine which types of care are covered, but neither it nor anyone else in the administration has the power to exempt anyone from providing that coverage. The Trump administration can’t simply rewrite law — that’s Congress’ job .
