뉴욕 알바니의 가톨릭자선단체들이 피임약의 의료보험을 의무화하는 법규의 효력을 문제삼아 소송을 하고 있다. 아직은 승소하지 못하고 있다 (2006. 9. 7 가톨릭세계뉴스)
CATHOLIC CHARITIES OFFICE FIGHTS FOR EXEMPTION FROM BIRTH-CONTROL MANDATE Sep. 07 (CWNews.com) - The office of Catholic Charities in Albany, New York, is pursuing a lawsuit challenging regulations that require insurance coverage for contraception.
"We're being forced to pay for something that represents what we teach against and what we think is sinful," said Michael Costello, a lawyer for Catholic Charities.
To date, the suit has been unsuccessful. Two New York courts have ruled that Catholic Charities does not qualify for an exemption from the law because it is not a religious employer. The courts have noted that Catholic Charities hires and serves people of all faiths.
