[PAA-Discuss] Tell Your Senators to Reject Extreme Legislation

[Juli Kring]

I just took action by telling my Senators to reject all extreme legislation that would take away women's access to birth control without a co-pay, and other needed health care, and I hope you will, too.

Recently, President Obama made an announcement that took the responsibility from certain religiously-affiliated employers and gave it to insurance companies for covering contraception with no co-pays or deductibles. This accommodation will protect women's access to birth control and without extra cost, regardless of where they work. We will closely monitor the implementation of this new rule and work to make sure that all women have access to this essential health benefit.

However, opponents of birth control in Congress are still focused on taking away access to contraception introducing extreme legislation that threatens health across the board. The pieces of legislation range from allowing any employer, regardless of whether it is a religious entity, to deny coverage of contraception to giving employers the right to refuse coverage of any health care service they find religiously or morally objectionable.

Please help us by telling your Senators to reject the politics to undermine women's health and support critical preventive care for women, and for all Americans.
