Supreme Court struggles with Trump administration’s limits on birth control coverage

The Supreme Court on Wednesday struggled with the question of how to ensure access to birth control at no cost for women while respecting the religious beliefs of employers who say providing contraceptive coverage violates their faith.

The case is the latest dispute over the expansion of health-care benefits for women under the Affordable Care Act and pits religious liberty against a woman’s right to health care. Wednesday’s arguments markedthe third time the high court considered the contraceptive coverage requirement but the first since conservative justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh joined the bench.
