WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday endorsed a plan by President Donald Trump’s

administration to give employers broad religious and moral exemptions from a federal mandate that health insurance they

provide employees covers women’s birth control.

The court ruled 7-2 against the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which challenged the legality of the administration’s 2018 rule weakening the so-called contraceptive mandate of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly called 7, that has drawn the ire of Christian conservatives.
