Democratic lawmakers introduced legislation Wednesday to undo the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that struck down the health care law’s contraceptive mandate for some corporate owners who object to coverage on religious grounds.
Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Mark Udall, D-Colo., filed the Protect Women’s Health from Corporate Interference Act. The bill would prohibit any federal law—including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that the ruling rests upon—from allowing employers to refuse contraceptive coverage to women.
