The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico and the Southwest Women’s Law Center (SWLC) filed a lawsuit on behalf of a mother and her daughter against a Walgreens pharmacy in Albuquerque, NM, for sex-based discrimination.

The Trump Administration issued rules that would allow nearly all employers to deny their employees insurance coverage for contraception if the employer has a religious or moral objection.

The complaints allege that this denial of service, based upon the individual pharmacist’s personal objections, constitutes discrimination based on sex, an illegal practice under the New Mexico Human Rights Act.
