What's at Stake
We are seeing instances across the country where religion is being used to discriminate against women.
In health care, we are seeing hospitals, insurance companies, pharmacies, and other health care entities discriminate against women by denying basic care鈥攕uch as birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion鈥攊n the name of religion. Many of these institutions receive taxpayer funding. The 老澳门开奖结果 works to ensure that women are not denied information and the health care they need because of the religious views of their health care providers.
In employment, we have seen a recent spate of cases in which religiously affiliated schools have fired women for getting pregnant while single or for using IVF.
