Supreme Court orders reconsideration of religious objection to N.Y. abortion care requirement

The Supreme Court ordered a lower court to take a second look at a religious challenge to a New York state requirement that employers provide health care plans that include abortion coverage.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday ordered a lower court to take a second look at a religious challenge to a New York state requirement that employers provide health care plans that include abortion coverage.

The justices said the case should be reviewed again in light of their ruling last week that Wisconsin had unlawfully denied charitable groups associated with the Catholic Church from a state tax.

In separate action on Monday, the court also took up a case from New Jersey arising from the state's investigation of anti-abortion pregnancy centers that provide guidance to pregnant women. The technical issue is whether the state can enforce subpoenas against First Choice Women's Resource Centers Inc., which runs five centers, seeking information about donors.

First Choice says the subpoena violates its free speech rights and freedom of association under the Constitution's First Amendment.

The New York case revolves around a regulation issued by New York in 2017 that requires employer-provided health insurance plans to include abortion coverage in certain situations, including in cases of rape and incest.
