New York State has ceased its longtime effort to compel religious organizations to provide abortion in their health insurance plans.
“After nearly a decade of trying to force nuns and other religious ministries to cover abortions, the state of New York has thrown in the towel,” the religious-liberty law firm Becket said in a statement. “Following two trips to the U.S. Supreme Court, the state late last week gave up on trying to make nuns pay for abortions.”
