OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) A U.S. judge in California on Sunday blocked Trump administration rules, which would allow more employers to opt out of providing women with no-cost birth control, from taking effect in 13 states and Washington, D.C.
Judge Haywood Gilliam granted a request for a preliminary injunction by California, 12 other states and Washington, D.C.
The plaintiffs sought to prevent the rules from taking effect as scheduled today while a lawsuit against them moved forward.
