Maybe all these religious groups should put some of their tax free slush funds towards an insurance system that doesn't have to respect people's rights, and instead dictates their followers health care based on their own interpretation of what the Sky Wizard may have said.

They already have that. I get Medi-share ads on my local radio station all the time.
After reading the entire decision, all 26 pages, the head scratcher here is why the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany is doing this. Their challenge is, basically, that the Religious Exemption is too narrow but when you read the definition it would almost certainly apply to them
“An entity for which each of the following is true: (1) The inculcation of religious values is the purpose of the entity[;] (2) The entity primarily employs persons who share the religious tenets of the entity[;] (3) The entity serves primarily persons who share the religious tenets of the entity[;] (4) The entity is a nonprofit organization as described in section 6033 (a) (2) (A) i or iii, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended”
What's even weirder to me is that not only would it seem that the Diocese already qualifies for the exception that it seems to want but it has never claimed it!
That's right, on pages 5/6 of the decision the Court writes "Plaintiffs, who have neither tried to invoke the “religious employer” accommodation nor expressly stated that they do not qualify for it, commenced a second action against DFS challenging the amended regulation."
So what is the Diocese spending all this time and money litigating for exactly?
To overturn the whole thing and make every provider able to deny care.
The title is confusing. I read it the wrong way initially.
How is it confusing?
I read it as the doctors performing the abortions must carry insurance specific to the procedure. That’s probably how OP read it too
I initially read it as the patients needing insurance to receive those abortions. Or in other words, them not getting medically required abortions if uninsured.
Yep, this is how i read it.
