Union Pacific Railroad's policy of not covering contraceptives in its health plan didn't discriminate against women, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week, overturning a ruling by a federal judge in Omaha in June 2005. One of the three appeals court judges filed a dissenting opinion, which could fortify an appeal in the case. Union Pacific Railroad is the largest railroad in North America, covering 23 states.

Union Pacific Railroad’s policy of not covering contraceptives in its health plan didn’t discriminate against women, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.
The railroad prevailed on appeal because its policy does not cover any contraceptives for men or women, so the court agreed Union Pacific did not violate the federal Civil Rights Act.
