Women denied

Media reports indicate that President Trump is about to put forth a rule allowing any employer or school to impose its religious views on workers or students by denying them health coverage for contraception.

This means that women across the country could lose access to birth-control care at the whim of their employer or university. What business does my boss or school administrator have intruding into my personal health decisions?

What’s worse, if enacted this rule could open the gates to employers and businesses engaging in other forms of discrimination.
