Stand with me & make it count!
Today, the Supreme Court's going to hear from bosses who oppose birth control and want to refuse their employees contraceptive coverage in their health-insurance plans.
A boss gets to make a lot of decisions, but telling their employees they can't get the health care they need shouldn't be one of them.
Supreme Court justices need to know that people whose lives will be affected by this decision are watching, and that a decision in favor of bosses would be completely out of touch with where most Americans stand.
Help us make a simple but powerful statement: we're with the 99 percent of women who use birth control. Paste the below graphic into your Livejournals & Facebooks & Tumblrs & Pinterests & Instagrams, etc. today and make it clear where you stand!
P.S. Did you know that the state of Kansas is right now considering a bill whereby all miscarriages must be reported to authorities or it will be considered criminal activity (no word yet on whether it'll be a misdemeanor or a felony, but given Kansas' radical definition of personhood, consensus among health providers and law enforcement believes it will be a FELONY). We're talking about miscarriages here, not abortions. The fact is, more than 80% of all miscarriages are unknown to the mother when they happen, as they happen within the first 4 weeks of conception (the body can spontaneously abort for a variety of biological, environmental, and chemical reasons). What can appear to be nothing more than your monthly menses can, in fact, be a miscarriage. If Kansas passes this law, and you live in that "great state", you can expect the possibility will exist that if you have a miscarriage, it will carry criminal charges of some sort against you. HOW TOTALLY FUCKED UP IS THAT?!?!
P.P.S. It's interesting to note that the only thing that the current debate in the Supreme Court is concerned about is contraceptive prescriptions and women's health care options for women. Hobby Lobby, the company who's brought this ludicrous case to the Supreme Court's attention, has absolutely no fight or beef with the prescribing of Viagra or other penis-enhancement drugs or treatments (including mental treatments to a psychiatrist and drugs prescribed for men who have issues with erectile dysfunction, low sperm count, and who want a vasectomy -- all of those things are perfectly acceptable health care options, according to Hobby Lobby). THINK ABOUT THAT. Clearly, this isn't an issue about birth control. Clearly, this is an issue about limiting women's rights to health care choices.
Enough is enough. Tell the world you've had it with their religious and political attacks against your rights to good health, contraception protection and use, and your personhood.
