A US judge in California on Sunday blocked President Donald Trump's administration rules which would allow more employers to opt out of providing women with no-cost birth control by claim it violates their 'moral convictions' from taking effect in 13 states and Washington, DC.
Judge Haywood Gilliam, a United States District Judge of the US District Court for the Northern District of California, granted a request for a preliminary injunction by California, 12 other states and Washington, DC.
The plaintiffs sought to prevent the rules from taking effect as scheduled on Monday while a lawsuit against them moved forward.
'The law couldn't be more clear - employers have no business interfering in women's healthcare decisions,' California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement on Sunday.
Gilliam limited the scope of the ruling to the plaintiffs, however, rejecting their request that he block the rules nationwide.
The ruling affects California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia.

The changes would allow more employers, including publicly traded companies, to opt out of providing no-cost contraceptive coverage to women by claiming religious objections.
Some private employers could also object on moral grounds.
California and the other states argue that women would be forced to turn to state-funded programs for birth control and experience unintended pregnancies.
'Today's court ruling stops another attempt by the Trump administration to trample on women's access to basic reproductive care, Becerra said.
'It's 2019, yet the Trump Administration is still trying to roll back women's rights. Our coalition will continue to fight to ensure women have access to the reproductive healthcare they are guaranteed under the law.'

At a hearing on Friday, Judge Haywood Gilliam said the changes would result in a 'substantial number' of women losing birth control coverage, which would be a 'massive policy shift.'

The US Department of Justice said in court documents the rules 'protect a narrow class of sincere religious and moral objectors from being forced to facilitate practices that conflict with their beliefs.'
At issue is a requirement under President Barack Obama's health care law that birth control services be covered at no additional cost.
Obama officials included exemptions for religious organizations. The Trump administration expanded those exemptions and added 'moral convictions' as a basis to opt out of providing birth control services.

The judge previously blocked an interim version of the rules - a decision that was upheld in December by an appeals court.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
