Brief:
Congress’ Religious Exemption Rule and Moral Exemption Rule exempt nearly every employer with a religious or moral objection from complying with the Affordable Care Act’s requirement to provide coverage for comprehensive preventive health care services. This briefs argues that this Rule violates the Constitution’s guarantees of liberty and equal protection under the law. These rules will deprive thousands of women of meaningful access to contraceptive health care services and will disproportionately impact women of color and low income women.
