The highest court in the country ruled today that it is acceptable for closely held corporations to use their religious beliefs to take away benefits guaranteed to their employees by law 鈥� something the Supreme Court has never before sanctioned. Everyone has the right to his or her religious beliefs, but those beliefs cannot be imposed on others.

At issue in today鈥檚 case is part of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to cover contraception without a co-pay. This law was designed to ensure women鈥檚 equality by eliminating the disparities in health care costs between men and women, and to ensure women have the ability to make decisions about whether and when to become parents, which in turns allow them to participate equally in society.

Women who work at Hobby Lobby and other closely held companies with religious objections to providing contraception coverage will now be denied that coverage, which will impact their reproductive health and other aspects of their lives. These women will also face dignitary harm knowing that their employers are singling out health care coverage that only women need.

Most women 鈥� including myself 鈥� will not lose their contraceptive coverage as a result of today鈥檚 decision. But today, we all lost. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said: 鈥淚njustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.鈥�

The 老澳门开奖结果 will fight to ensure that all women get the contraception coverage they need and deserve. For starters, we call on Congress to fix today鈥檚 decision to rectify today鈥檚 injustice. We hope you will join the fight with us.
