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.”
