Notre Dame Struck a Secret Deal With the Trump Administration to Deny Birth Control Coverage. Now Students Are Fighting Back.

CHISSA RIVALDI NEVER expected to be in a fight with her university over birth control. Four years ago, when she was deciding where to pursue a doctoral degree in biology, she had two key things in mind: a supportive adviser and an institution with a robust research program. She found what she was looking for in the University of Notre Dame. “This program was the best thing for me in terms of the research I wanted to do and the pace and how it incorporated the work I’d done previously,” she said.

Enter Ann Doe: Notre Dame Student Asks to Participate in Contraceptive-Coverage Litigation

Today, Americans United asked the Seventh Circuit to allow a student at the University of Notre Dame to defend her right to health insurance that covers contraception, despite Notre Dame’s ongoing litigation to deprive its students and faculty of that coverage. If permitted to join the suit, Ann Doe will be one of only two people in the nation (both represented by Americans United) who have that special role, voicing the concerns of women all across the country who risk being denied insurance coverage for contraception if religiously affiliated universities, hospitals, and other organizations are allowed to impose their religious beliefs on their students and employees.

Under the Affordable Care Act, Notre Dame is not required to provide coverage for contraception as part of the health-insurance plans that it offers to students and employees. All it has to do is sign a one-page form to let its insurance company or the government know that it has a religious objection to providing contraception. At that point, the insurance company must make sure that none of the objecting institution’s money goes to fund the contraceptive coverage that the company provides—and legally must provide—to students, faculty, and staff.

But that isn’t good enough for Notre Dame....
