The same plaintiffs previously filed class action lawsuits to prevent enforcement of the contraceptive coverage requirement against class members. Following a separate court decision to invalidate a federal rule that allowed individuals and employers to opt out of covering contraception, these plaintiffs seek to permanently block enforcement of this requirement and to invalidate any federal requirement that does not accommodate those with religious objections to contraception.
