Today
the Supreme Court ruled there are bosses who can make your birth
control decisions for you.
Yup
― you read that right.
The
Court could have instructed these corporations to get back to work ― on
things other than women’s birth control decisions.
Instead,
the Court put bosses’ religious beliefs ahead of women’s health care.
Today's
decision is unprecedented. Some corporations will now have a license to harm
their workers in the name of religion.
And
guess whose health care the opponents targeted? Women’s.
While
the Court left the birth control requirement in place, this ruling could
jeopardize the health care that women working at these and similar companies
receive ― and hurt women who already struggle to make ends meet.
We
need Congress to support a fix that guarantees birth control access to all
women. Hear our warning: Today’s Supreme Court ruling harms women’s health, but
could also have far-reaching consequences beyond birth control. It could
encourage bosses to use religion to attempt to disregard other laws that protect
us ― like in Arizona, where lawmakers ― in the name of religion ― recently tried
to enact a law allowing businesses to turn away customers based on their sexual
orientation.
Most
Americans believe women should be able to make their own decisions about
reproductive health care without interference from their bosses. So we’re going
to make sure that the people who would impose their beliefs on others don’t get
their way.
