Does the Birth Control coverage rule still go into effect in August as scheduled?

or is it now being held up with litigation?

I haven't heard much about this issue since President Obama came up with his compromise that seemed to appease a lot of Catholic organizations. Not all of them, of course, since I believe that there is some pending litigation but is there some kind of injunction against the rule or will it move forward while the litigation is pending? Anybody know?

So AFAIK, the coverage will be in place.

I vaguely remember hearing that they sued but hadn't heard anything regarding the status of the litigation.

I may be wrong, but I believe that the recent Supreme Court ruling is the end of all litigation.
