Senate to Vote on Contraception Mandate

The Takeaway

Later in the week, the Senate is expected to vote on a bill which would repeal the Obama Administration’s health care regulation requiring birth control coverage.  This follows a case in Tacoma, Washington where a federal judge ruled a law which requires pharmacies to offer emergency contraceptives to be unconstitutional. The plaintiff in the case, Kevin Storman, a store owner, felt his religious freedom was violated by the legislation.   Gloria Feldt  is the former president of Planned Parenthood and author of “No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power.”  Eric Kniffin is legal counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty who helped represent the plaintiffs in Storeman’s v. Selecky.
