The OU joined with other national Jewish organizations (alongside organizations of other faiths) to urge the U.S. Supreme Court to rule in favor of religious business owners challenging a provision of the Affordable Care Act, which requires employer-sponsored health insurance plans to provide contraceptive and other women’s health services at no cost.

The OU delivered this message by joining a “friend of the court” brief authored by the eminent attorney Nathan Lewin on behalf of the National Jewish Commission on Law & Public Affairs and several national organizations.
