President Trump Lifts Birth Control Mandate (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

In all the news of crazy California wildfires and Iran deal moves and Senator Corker warning about the president, contraception has been almost lost in the shuffle. But the Trump administration has just made a very significant move allowing employers, on religious or now simply “moral” grounds, to deny insurance coverage of contraception to their employees. Supporters say yay. Critics call it a step toward Saudi-style theocracy. An attack on women. This hour, On Point: contraception and the law under Donald Trump. --Tom Ashbrook
