On Tuesday, a group of nuns joined other religious groups and appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to block New York State’s mandate that forces them to cover surgical abortions in their employee health insurance plans.
In Diocese of Albany v. Harris, a group of Anglican and Catholic nuns, Catholic dioceses, Christian churches, and faith-based social ministries sued New York after it mandated that they cover abortion in their employee health insurance plans in violation of their religious beliefs.
Although the lower courts initially ruled against them, in 2021, the Supreme Court justices reversed the lower court, telling them to reconsider their ruling in light of Fulton v.
