Send a message to HHS regarding birth control for all women, regardless of employer
From Naral:
Copays for birth control are ending. That’s great news. But now, opponents are all-out attacking this great policy.
A Fox News contributor from Family PAC Federal compared no-cost birth control to getting manicures and pedicures. And Rep. Steve King of Iowa recently spoke out against birth control on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, saying that no-cost birth-control would make us "a dying civilization."
It’s just plain insulting. We can’t let distortions like these go unanswered.
We have to make sure the Obama administration knows we support this new policy, plus we have to weigh in on one more piece: certain religious employers may be allowed to opt out of the requirement to cover birth control at no cost.
HHS is accepting comments on this refusal provision. Send a message to HHS now to say that all women should have access to contraceptive coverage, regardless of where they work.
