Four national activist groups said they would file immediate lawsuits over the Trump administration's new rules allowing employers to drop contraception coverage over religious beliefs and or/moral objections to women using birth control.

The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Women's Law Center, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and Americans United for Separation of Church and State, announced the lawsuits against the government on a call with Planned Parenthood and Attorney General of California Xavier Becerra, writes Buzzfeed.

They all plan to challenge the administrations' rules allowing employers with "religious" or "moral" objections to drop birth control coverage in insurance plans, arguing that the decision is a form of gender discrimination and also violates the separation of church and state.

"With these actions, [the Trump administration] is saying to employers, 'If you want to discriminate the administration has your back,'" Fatima Goss Graves, President & CEO, National Women’s Law Center said. "We will see them in court."

Attorney General Becerra did not fully commit to filing a lawsuit on behalf of the state of California, but warned that the state was ready to do so.

"We’re prepared to act, including in court, and we’ll do it swiftly," Becerra said on the call. He added that he was "in conversation with a number of states" about filing lawsuits together and separately, and that they would "make an announcement in an appropriate time."

Shortly after this, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy announced that Massachusetts would be filing a lawsuits against the Trump administration over the rules.

The US saw a major expansion of contraception insurance coverage without a copay under Obamacare. Under the ACA, more than 55 million women have access to no-copay insurance.

Dr. Haywood L. Brown, the president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said the rules would turn back the clock on women’s health.

“Affordable contraception for women saves lives,” he said. “It prevents pregnancies. It improves maternal mortality. It prevents adolescent pregnancies.”

Catholic bishops across America are having a smug toast of champagne this evening. Hillary Women are not about to lie down and play dead in this new challenge for Republican white men to take control of women's bodies.
