Friend,

On Friday, the Trump Administration reversed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) policy created under the Obama Administration that forced the Little Sisters of the Poor and other religious organizations to provide contraceptive services in violation of their convictions. Now, there will be a clear exemption for employers, religious groups, and, in certain cases, individuals who do not wish to cover contraceptive services based on religious or moral objections.

This reversal is in accordance with the Supreme Court ruling on the issue and is a huge step in the right direction. Every American should be free to live and work according to their beliefs without fear of punishment by the government. Forcing faith-based organizations to provide coverage that they deem morally objectionable - or pay punitive fines - contradicts this core, constitutional right.

There was a great article about this in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend. Take a look here.
