Catholic College Claims Win In Birth Control Settlement
A birth control battle that spawned four years of litigation and reached the U.S. Supreme Court appeared to end Monday as a Santa Paula-area Catholic college declared victory, citing Donald Trump's election as a turning point. Thomas Aquinas College and 73 other plaintiffs sued over the Affordable Care Act mandate that employers provide insurance covering contraceptives, saying it conflicted with their religious beliefs. In May, the Supreme Court returned the case to appeals courts, asking plaintiffs and the government to negotiate on possible resolutions. (Kisken, 10/17)
