Abstract
The US District Court for the District of Massachusetts, by decision dated January 15, held that the regulations providing certain religious exemptions to the contraceptive mandate, enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Act, are not arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act and are not unconstitutional as violations of the Establishment and Equal Protection Clauses (Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. US Department of Health and Human Services et al.).
