Standing Up for Women's Health on the Supreme Court Steps
I just got back from the Supreme Court.
This week, the justices are hearing arguments on challenges brought by private plaintiffs and state governments that want to overturn the health-care law that President Obama signed into law two years ago.
If they succeed, all of our work to make near-universal coverage of birth control for women a reality will be undone.
That's why hundreds of pro-choice Americans rallied in front of the Supreme Court this morning. We were there to protect our health care from extremists who want to take it away.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said that women stand to lose a lot if the Court strikes down the law:
The attacks on the health-reform law are targeting women in the same way as the legislative attacks on contraception and ugly rhetoric that have made headlines in the last month. If the court strikes down this law, better coverage of prenatal care and contraceptives for millions of women could disappear. Insurance companies could go back to charging women more money for health-care services than men. That's why we must stand with President Obama and women across this country in supporting this important law.
The health-reform law is a big deal for millions of Americans.

Dear Nancy:
Thank you for your tireless work for the people of the United States.
You are an inspiration to all of us who care about these issues.
I am sorry I was unable to attend the rally however I hope to be in position to attend the next one.
Thank you for the photos. They are awesome!
Sincerely,
Delbert Brander, III
Dear Nancy, I just hope that the Judges do not act in a political fashion or impose their Religious Dogma on us.
They do not seem to understand that women own their bodies and what is "inside" their bodies.
They also need to understand that if women lose their rights so do the men in their lives and their children and thus the whole of our society and our wonderful Constitution.
I was ignored an abortion in 1960 and my life wasn't that good...if only I could have not had a kid.
Women’s web talks each and every part of health related and other issues of women’s. You can easily get health and wellness news along with relationship advice by just being in touch.
I do not create many remarks, but I looked at a few of the
remarks on Blog for Choice | Standing Up for Women's Health on the Supreme Court Steps. I do have a few questions for you if you don't mind. Is it simply me or does it seem like some of the remarks appear like they are coming from brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online social sites, I would like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Would you list of every one of all your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
