about an insurance company declining to provide a pump for religious reasons. 
Perhaps the mother could ask for a more complete explanation about how a pump 
violates the religious teachings connected with that company or her employer. 
Unless the insurance company is part of a religious group, it seems a 
questionable claim. I see this as very different from the contraception issue 
where if one is working for a Catholic or Orthodox Jewish agency, as examples, 
it shouldn't be a surprise that they would not want to provide contraception as 
it is fairly well known that it goes against their religious teachings

 I'd like to correct some misinformation expressed here. There is no blanket 
rule against using contraception in Orthodox Judaism. Although certain types of 
contraception are generally not used, many Orthodox Jewish women do use 
contraception based on their personal needs and family situation.
