(Worthy News) - A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's loosened birth control rules from going into effect in 13 states and the District of Columbia on Monday as scheduled.
The Department of Health and Human Services created rules allowing employers to opt out of birth control coverage due to religious or moral objections. Employers otherwise have to offer health insurance that covers a range of birth control options, from the pill to intrauterine devices to emergency contraception, at no cost to patients.
The decision to block the rules from taking effect was issued Sunday by Judge Haywood Gilliam, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama and previously blocked an interim version of the exemptions. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More...) ]

It's no surprise that Haywood Gilliam, a nominee of America-destroyer Obama would block President Trump. Obama's tentacles are still at work ..... our battle is not over yet.
