NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire Won't "Bayer" Attacks on Birth Control!
Last week, the U.S. Senate rejected the Blunt amendment, which would have allowed bosses to block their employees from getting insurance coverage for birth control.
But, anti-choice politicians in the Granite State couldn't just accept the U.S. Senate's word. On Wednesday, the New Hampshire state House passed a bill that would allow employers to refuse to cover contraception for employees.
Fortunately, New Hampshire women are not ones to let politicians attack their health-care coverage.
NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire led a rally outside the statehouse in Concord to stand up against these attacks on contraception.
Activists handed out Bayer aspirin--a reference to comments by a Rick Santorum supporter suggesting that women put Bayer aspirin between their knees as contraception.
Special props to everyone who braved the New Hampshire winter to stand up for coverage of birth control!

Womens healthcare should be up to a woman and her Informed doctor. Insurance should not be mandated by politics I hope the Governor stands up to veto this waste of time and sick step back
Birth control is dirt cheap and there are plenty of FREE places to get it. People are making way too big a deal out of this. If you have a job that gives health insurance benefits then you are making decent money. You can get birth control at walmart for $9 a month. Let's put a little bit of logic into this situation. You don't want to be told you can't have an abortion and pro-lifers don't want to be told they have to offer something they don't believe in.
Ninety eight per cent of child bearing women use birth control at some point in their lives. Keep this up Republicans, and you will be out of power very soon.
