Little Sisters of the Poor Back in Court Over ACA Mandate

The Little Sisters of the Poor are back in court again, continuing their 14-year battle to overturn an Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandate that requires employers to provide contraceptives, including some that cause abortions, in their employee health plans.

However, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are digging their heels in deeper to strip the Little Sisters of that protection.
