HHS Relief for Religious Nonprofits Finally in Sight

Church leaders welcome the Trump administration’s Oct. 6 decision to expand the religious exemption under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ contraceptive mandate.

Rienzi described the new rules as “common sense and balanced” measures that represent “a great step forward for religious liberty.”

“This was always a big, unnecessary and divisive culture-war fight,” Rienzi said. “Simply put, you don’t need nuns to give out contraceptives. They’re widely available, and until 2011, nobody, I would suggest, ever thought of the idea that the right way to get contraceptives to people was to force nuns to be involved.”

The article is a bit unclear on how this will come about. While I welcome any action the President takes on the matter with executive orders and whatnot, what we really need it a law passed in Congress. Otherwise the next democrat president will just come in and change it back and religious organizations will be stuck in a pendulum of politics just like the “Mexico City Policy” already is.
