The Biden administration has decided to leave in place Trump-era guidelines that allow employers to opt out of birth control coverage over religious or moral objections, Politico reported.

Announced in a Federal Register notice on Monday, the move lets stand an existing rule that permits employers to cite "non-religious moral objections" to the Affordable Care Act's requirement to cover contraception.

In 2018, the Trump administration expanded the conscience protections of employers so that they would not have to cover birth control in their employee coverage if the entity had a religious or moral objection.
