ACTION REQUIRED—Tell Senators Women’s Health Not a Bargaining Chip - National Women’s Law Center
From the comments on the facebook post: “I think our species would benefit from playing sea horse.”
On Saturday night, the House of Representatives passed a spending bill that will keep the government open — but only if the new health care law is delayed for a year and if your boss is allowed to refuse you birth control. And that’s not all. The bill also allows bosses to refuse to cover the other seven women’s preventive services covered in the new health care law, including things like breastfeeding supplies, domestic violence counseling, and screening for HIV.
Yes, you read that right. Some politicians in Congress are willing to actually shut down the government over your birth control.
The Senate will act on this spending bill TODAY and we need to tell Senators loud and clear — our health care decisions are not a bargaining chip.
Tell your Senators — Say NO to the House’s spending bill.
