Democratic states sue Trump over loosened birth control rules

Thirteen Democratic attorneys general have sued the Trump administration over rules that say employers do not have to pay for birth control coverage for their workers if they oppose them for religious or moral reasons.

“The Trump administration is continuing to trample on women’s rights and access to care with this illegal final rule,” California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “California will continue the fight against any actions that attempt to restrict women’s access to affordable, quality healthcare.”
