    […] Christian-owned business […]

    […] Texas judge carried out an “abuse of discretion”[…]

    The ACA provision in question requires private health insurers and companies to cover preventive services and drugs like HIV preventive drugs, known as PrEP, which Braidwood objected to. This provision also requires coverage of cancer screenings, vaccines, STD screenings, gestational health screenings and birth control.

    So we have some Christian Nationalists and a Texas judge. Name a more iconic duo /s.
