A federal judge issued an injunction Friday temporarily blocking the implementation of President Donald Trump’s executive order rolling back the controversial contraceptive mandate component of ObamaCare.
The injunction came following a lawsuit spearheaded by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D.), the Hill reports. On Twitter, Shapiro called the injunction "a critical victory for millions of women and families and for the rule of law."
Shapiro’s victory came after arguments in front of Judge Wendy Bettlestone Thursday, where the A.G. contended that the rollback would harm Pennsylvania’s 2.5 million women. Dr. Cynthia Chuang, of Penn State University, testified before Bettlestone that the rollback would cause "serious medical harm," including unintended pregnancies, Courthouse News reports.

Since when did unintended pregnancy pose a blanket medical harm to women?
Where the heck did this judge come up with this nonsense?
Now free contraceptive is a constitutional right for women?
Welfare, Medicare, food stamp and SSI disability should all come with a contraceptive mandate or sterilization.
It's cheaper for insurance companies to pay for birth control than is it for a pregnancy and 18 years of medical care for the child that was born.
