Federal Judge In Michigan Rules Against Birth Control Benefit in Favor of Business Owner
U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland ruled Wed. Oct. 31 that a Catholic-owned family business in Michigan does not need to comply with the Affordable Care Act's birth control benefit, RH Reality Check reported Nov. 2. The temporary injunction affects the owner of Weingartz Supply Company and his approximately 170 employees, and like a similar ruling from a federal court in Colorado, is limited only to that challenger. In July, U.S. District Judge John Kane temporarily prevented the government from requiring the Catholic owners of Hercules Industries Inc, a private manufacturer of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment, from complying with the birth control benefit as well.
