Fight Back against Anti-Contraception Groups Attacking the White House
Last week, the Obama administration announced its final policy on no-cost birth control.
The Obama administration resisted pressure from anti-contraception groups. These groups wanted to broaden the refusal rule in a way that would have allowed many employers, including universities and hospitals, to refuse to cover birth control.
As a result of the administration's decision, millions of women will get access to contraception--and they will not have to ask their bosses for permission.
This decision by the White House is a big deal--98 percent of women use birth control at some point in their lives, yet one in three struggles with its high cost.
You can bet the White House is getting an earful from the anti-contraception forces that had pushed to allow bosses who oppose birth control to deny their employees access to this option.
Now, they need to hear from the other 98 percent of Americans.


doesn't surprise me,I've been exspecting this to happen
I think this is just outrageous. I am 43 yrs old and haved birthed 5 children. I now have an IUD and HAVE HAD an IUD for years now. CLEARLY I do not want anymore children and yet I would be in violation of laws if these people had their way! I would be criminalized for preventing any unwanted pregnancies at my age. If 'personhood' ever became a true issue in this country...so that a zygote has more rights than me...and they want to treat it as living, breathing...I'll be in court filing assault charges against it. I have a right not to be bodily harmed by ANY person!
