The Court ruled that the Trump administration’s discriminatory rules – which allow virtually any employer to refuse birth control coverage to employees (and in the case of schools, students) on religious/moral grounds – were allowed under the Affordable Care Act.

This is disastrous. Thousands of people could now have their birth control coverage determined by their boss. It’s invasive, archaic, and dangerous. We know that without coverage, many people struggle to afford birth control. It doesn’t have to – and shouldn’t – be this way.

Today’s ruling is especially cruel because it will have the most negative impact on those who already face barriers to health care: Low-wage workers, people of color and LGBTQ people. Why, during a global health crisis, is the Supreme Court making health care worse?

Access to birth control is not just about health care though – it's about equality. Without access to birth control, we cannot live truly equal lives. When birth control access is threatened, our health, our well being, and our financial stability is threatened.

Today’s decision is devastating, but know that we can and will fight back. We call on bosses, universities, and our leaders to protect access to birth control from this predatory and destructive administration. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘁.

Single payer separates healthcare from employment. The current healthcare system forces those who support women's health to fight, every day, just to tread water. There will always be a patriarchal system that can strip away healthcare, if we let them. We need M4A.

I'm a rasta man, no ganga, no job. Seriously BC? This is so over. The very first thing people do when they can is limit births. Women don't want to have a herd of kids. But God's will...we live with usary. But not birth control. Homosexuality. See a trend here? Sex sells.
