“A decision about whether to use birth control is one that should be between a patient and their doctor – and no one else,” the lawmakers said. “Giving an employer the ability to interject themselves in that decisions – by limiting a patient’s access to free birth control – is unconscionable. We aren’t going to sit back and allow this court, or this administration, to put the health and well-being of millions of Americans at risk. We are going to continue to fight against these dangerous rules in any way we can.” (Source: Rep. DeGette, Press Release, 07/08/20)
