New Rule Permits All Employers to Opt Out of Birth Control Coverage, Sweeping Step Toward Completely Dismantling the Birth Control Benefit
“The Trump Administration just took direct aim at birth control coverage for 62 million women, eliminating the guarantee that health insurance would cover contraception.”
WASHINGTON, DC — The Trump administration has taken direct aim at birth control coverage for more than 62 million American women, eliminating the guarantee they had for coverage for birth control regardless of who they work for. On Friday morning, they announced a sweeping new rule to eliminate the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that all insurance plans must cover birth control without a co-pay or otherwise ensure access to birth control coverage for women whose employers or schools can legally opt out of providing coverage.
Statement from Cecile Richards, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
“The Trump administration just took direct aim at birth control coverage for 62 million women. This is an unacceptable attack on basic health care that the vast majority of women rely on. With this rule in place, any employer could decide that their employees no longer have health insurance coverage for birth control.
We’re talking about a fundamental right -- to be able to decide whether and when you want to have children.

Bravo President Trump!
“The left is acting like birth control is being banned.”
I love the “preventing womens’ access to birth control” crap. If you have that insurance, you have a job and are getting paid for it. Buy it yourself. Or quit and get a job with a company that provides it. Ask your husband and/or boyfriend(s), as the case may be, to chip in. If they don’t, dump ‘em all.
Why is this everyone else’s problem????
Yet only 120,000 women are actually affected by this.
And they can still buy BC for a few bucks a month
Hes not denying them it. He just won’t make everyone else pay for it. Not even that, he makes it optional for businesses to not pay for it.
Anything that takes away government mandates on people or businesses is a wonderful thing.
Women hate paying for anything with their own money.
Govt money, husbank’s money - no problem.
They spend at least that much on kleenex or toilet paper a month.
On purpose of course. All commie/alinsky tactics.
Car insurance does not cover routine maintenance like regular oil changes or filling up your gas tank.
it's called keeping your legs shut Cecile you ignorant slut
You'll have to convince these people they don't have a right to have sex without consequences.
Overheard a young twentysomething woman toss off this line to her friend: "He asked me if I wanted to sleep over, I said No" and offered some reason she was busy that night -- but implied some other night might be fine. It's an aggressively casual attitude towards sex, isn't it.
Husbank. Heh.
Can we compromise by saying if a woman signs up for welfare in any form, she has to get a Norplant or IUD at state expense? If you cannot afford the children you have, you aren’t allowed any more. When you’re off welfare, you can have the implant out.
Studying the snowflake generation I would gladly pay for sterilization of these ladies. God knows we don’t need them to reproduce others.
Totally agreed. The “preventing women’s access to birth control” stuff is ridiculous. They’re acting as though it’s no longer available.
Agreed.
They’re saying it will effect less than 1% of the women.
Seems like women should be able to make those decisions themselves WITHOUT the government being under the sheets with them. I could have sworn they wanted the government OUT of the bedroom. Now they want it IN the bedroom.
Sex is a cancellation prize, every one gets it for a price.
I think you meant to say "consolation prize."

I'm seeing another dynamic at work here, one to which the feminists will not admit.
Modern culture contains an unspoken social expectation of sex during dating. Not marriage. Dating.
Feminists don't want to openly admit to that.
With the sex a given, mandatory thing, and no longer a choice, the horse is already out of the barn, and the birth control pills and abortion clinics are an attempt to go yelling and screaming after it while waving a bridle.
Until men and women can step up to the plate in the moral sense, we will continue to hear frightened, defensive language along these lines:
"An emerging trend to extend a right to life before birth, and in particular from conception, poses a significant threat to women’s human rights, in theory and in practice. These efforts, often rooted in ideological and religious motivations, are part of a deliberate attempt to deny women the full range of reproductive health services that are essential to safeguarding women’s fundamental rights to life, health, dignity, equality, and autonomy, among others. These attempts to grant a right to life before birth—and therefore recognize prenatal legal personhood—seek to bestow rights on a zygote, embryo, or fetus that would be equal or superior to the rights of women."
If the EPA were really concerned about the E, we would already have outlawed hormone introduction.
Morality is good for the environment, too. Who’d-a-thunk-it.
