ST. LOUIS — The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Sept. 17 became the first such court to rule in favor of nonprofit religious organizations that have sued to avoid having to participate in the federal government requirement to provide coverage for contraceptives in employee health insurance.
The three-judge panel said in a brief ruling that two Christian schools, Dordt College in Iowa and Cornerstone University in Michigan, should not be required to even follow the process set out by the federal government to avoid having to participate in the insurance requirement.
