9th Circuit Hears Oral Arguments on #Church's Standing to Challenge #HealthInsurance Mandate
In March 2025, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 decision held that the #AssemblyofGod Church which opposes #abortion and some forms of #contraception lacked standing to challenge Washington's #Reproductive Parity Act which requires #health #insurance carriers to provide coverage for #contraceptives and #abortions.

The Trump administration has decided to destroy $9.7m worth of #contraceptives stocked oversea rather than send them abroad to women in need. Now the grandson of the French #pill legaliser calls on the French government to refuse the incineration: www.franceinfo.fr/sante/contra...

"U.S.-funded contraceptives worth nearly $10 million are being sent to France from Belgium to be incinerated, after Washington rejected offers from the United Nations and family planning organisations to buy or ship the supplies to poor nations, two sources told Reuters.
A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department confirmed to Reuters on Wednesday that a decision had been taken to destroy the stock.
The supplies have been stuck for months in a warehouse in Geel, a city in the Belgian province of Antwerp, following President Donald Trump's decision to freeze U.S. foreign aid in January.
They comprise contraceptive implants and pills as well as intrauterine devices to help prevent unwanted pregnancies, according to seven sources and a screengrab shared by an eighth source confirming the planned destruction.
The U.S. government will spend $167,000 to incinerate the stocks at a facility in France that handles medical waste, the U.S. State Department confirmed.
The spokesperson said that a preliminary decision had been made to destroy certain products from terminated U.S. Agency for International Development contracts.
'Only a limited number of commodities have been approved for disposal,' the spokesperson said via email, adding that no condoms or HIV medications would be destroyed.
U.S. lawmakers have introduced two bills this month to prevent the destruction of the supplies following Trump's decision to shut down USAID, but aid groups say the bills are unlikely to be passed in time to stop the incineration.
The Belgian foreign ministry said Brussels had held talks with U.S. authorities and 'explored all possible options to prevent the destruction, including temporary relocation.'
'Despite these efforts, and with full respect for our partners, no viable alternative could be secured. Nevertheless, Belgium continues to actively seek solutions to avoid this regrettable outcome,' it said in a statement shared with Reuters on Tuesday.
'Sexual and reproductive health must not be subject to ideological constraints,' it added.
The supplies, worth $9.7 million, are due to expire between April 2027 and September 2031, according to an internal document listing the warehouse stocks and verified by three sources.
(. . .)
One of the sources with knowledge of the issue said that the Trump administration was acting in accordance with the Mexico City policy, an anti-abortion pact in which Trump reinstated U.S. participation in January. The pact forbids the U.S. government from contributing to or working with organisations providing funding or supplies that offer access to abortions.
The source said there was no way for the U.S. government to ensure that UNFPA would not share the contraceptives with groups offering abortions, violating the Mexico City policy. The State Department also told Reuters these were factors in their decision on Wednesday, and added that it had avoided $34.1 million in costs by cancelling other orders placed under the Biden administration.
The source also said the matter was complicated by the fact that the contraceptives in Belgium were embossed with the USAID trademark and Washington did not want any USAID-branded supplies to be rerouted elsewhere.
UNFPA did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the concerns raised by the source."

that sentiment stems from #SupremeCourt Justice #ClarenceThomas writing in his concurring opinion overturning #RoeVWade that the court should reconsider decisions relying on the same legal precedent. That includes the court’s 1965 ruling in #Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteeing the right to #contraceptives"

#Republicans in ≥17 states have blocked #laws assuring the right to #BirthControl since 2022. Most recently, #Virginia Gov Glenn #Youngkin (R) vetoed a bill meant to ensure #access to #contraceptives, saying while he personally supports access, he was loath to “trample on the #religious freedoms of Virginians,” incl’g #medical providers [what about everyone else’s freedoms?]
#Trump suggested that he was open to restricting access to #contraception. -
Biggest A-Hole Jerk
(trying to be more like #DeSantis?)Virginia Gov. Youngkin vetoes bills on birth control, Confederate tax loopholes
“Gov. Glenn #Youngkin (R) vetoed bills meant to ensure access to #contraceptives and close tax loopholes for #Confederate heritage groups Friday night, continuing a record-breaking veto spree that also nixed measures to ban #guns from #psychiatric hospitals and remind parents to store weapons out of their children’s reach.”

First, it was #abortion, then it was #IVF, now, they are refusing to protect #contraceptives. This has never been about #familyPlanning – it’s 100% about control and power. Arizonans and the rest of the country deserve leaders who fight for their full spectrum of rights, not those who work in lockstep to block them.

First #overthecounter #birthcontrol pill heads to stores
#Opill has been around for decades, but manufacturers have been working nine years toward making it available #OTC. This is first #birthcontrolpill that has been approved for use without a prescription from a health care provider. Like many other oral #contraceptives, it's 98% effective at preventing #pregnancy if taken correctly. A month's supply of Opill has a retail price of $19.99, less if you order 3mo or 6mo.

GOP knows #DobbsVJackson is a loser and the extremist #ivf and #contraceptives bans folks in deep red states will tank the GOP even in red counties so they will LIE.
They will say they are against national bans. They will say 6 week bans are crazy. They will scoff at Dobbs but really it’s Loving that they’re targeting. Don’t believe them.
