A US judge in Pennsylvania on Monday blocked President Donald Trump's administration rules which would allow more employers to opt out of providing women with no-cost birth control by claiming it violates their 'moral convictions' from taking effect, nationwide.
US District Court Judge Wendy Beetlestone for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania temporarily blocked the new expanded exemptions rules from taking effect on Monday, while they are being challenged in court in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Beetlestone said in the ruling that loss of contraception coverage resulting from the rule's enforcement could lead to 'significant, direct and proprietary harm' to the states through increased use of state-funded contraception services.
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 in only California, 12 other states and Washington, DC on Sunday.
'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 in the California case, but Beetlestone's order has now temporarily blocked the rules across the country.

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.
Opponents of the rules change 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 on Sunday.
'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.'

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 California judge previously blocked an interim version of the rules - a decision that was upheld in December by an appeals court.
Trump's administration released the final version of the rules in November, with minor changes from the previously blocked intermine rules.
Those updated, final version is now being challenged in courts across the country.

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.
