ST. PAUL — Women’s rights advocates say Minnesota needs legislation to prevent a 2014 Supreme Court decision from jeopardizing access to birth control statewide.

The high court’s decision to let some business owners ignore a law if they object to it on religious grounds can lead to discrimination against female employees, they said. They’ve revived a bill at the State Capitol to require contraception in health insurance plans for most employers who offer prescription drug coverage.

The bill would mandate coverage for FDA-approved contraceptive methods at no extra cost to employees. Religious institutions and some for-profit corporations would be exempt, but they’d have to disclose to workers and applicants if they didn’t cover birth control and tell them where they could get coverage.

It could be a non-starter in the state House, where a similar bill has failed before. Rep. Erin Murphy doesn’t yet have any support from House Republicans, who control the lower chamber and set its agenda.

Murphy, a St. Paul Democrat, said the bill would survive a legal challenge even though it conflicts with the Supreme Court ruling.

Sarah Stoesz, president of the Planned Parenthood chapter for Minnesota and the Dakotas, said 98 percent of women use some form of birth control during their reproductive years. Those with little or no access to it cite cost as the biggest barrier.
