Thank Maryland's Pro-Choice Leaders for Standing Up for Birth Control

From Naral MD:
On February 10, the Obama administration announced a new policy solution that will make sure women of all faiths who work at religiously affiliated hospitals, universities, and service organizations can get contraceptive coverage. The president’s plan guarantees that women will encounter no barriers from their bosses or insurance plans in getting birth control without a copay.

Anti-contraception groups and their political allies in Congress are not satisfied, and they continue to attack women’s contraceptive coverage.

Maryland is lucky to have leaders like Gov. O’Malley, Sen. Mikulski, and Rep. Cummings who have stood for choice and denounced these legislative attacks.

Sen. Barbara Mikulski led the effort to get preventive services for women included in health-care reform and continues to support of birth-control coverage. Gov. O’Malley has stood strong for choice, calling the attacks on access to birth control “too much hyperventilating.” Rep. Elijah Cummings stood up for American women in his letter objecting to the refusal to allow a female law student to testify at a House committee hearing on birth-control coverage.

Please help us show our pro-choice leaders how much we appreciate them, and we'll deliver it on your behalf.

I'm proud I come from Maryland since our leaders there believe in reproductive freedom
