I am envious that my state is not included. But I did not expect it to be included since it is governed by Gov Walker!!

Five states are asking a federal judge to halt the implementation of the Trump administration's recent rollback of ObamaCare's birth-control mandate.

The attorneys general in California, New York, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia filed the motion for a preliminary injunction Thursday night with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

The filing is part of a lawsuit the states filed in October, which argues that the policy change is unconstitutional and discriminatory.

Under the federal rules that took effect in October, any for-profit or nonprofit employer or insurer can stop following the birth-control mandate on moral and religious grounds.

The changes also let publicly traded companies obtain a religious exemption but not a moral one.
