The proposed Blunt amendment would allow all employers to deny their employees access to ANY form of health care they claimed a personal "moral" objection. Not one women was allowed to testify at a congressional hearing on women's health! How long will we continue to allow men to make critical decisions about our bodies, our health?

My petition is to make women's rights a top priority on our agenda for human rights in the U.S. and worldwide.

You were elected to make life better for the people of Oklahoma not to insert government in the private medical decisions of women. We want you to get back to work on the urgent issues relating to economic growth, ensuring children get excellent education and repairing our crumbling infrastructure.

No male has the right to decide anything on behalf of anything within the parameters of my panties.

In a thinly-veiled attempt to block a woman's right to choose, members of the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives have put forward a bill that would force doctors to perform ultrasounds on women seeking abortions. Most women seeking abortions are very early in their pregnancies, meaning that most of these ultrasounds would be performed trans-vaginally. It follows then that this bill mandates something akin to state-sponsored rape. The bill has passed through the House Health Committee but has yet to be put to a vote. Tell your representatives that you stand with women and that you oppose House Bill 1077.

As a woman and as a physician, I strongly believe that any congressional committee that handles issues of women's health choices should be composed of at least 50% women. We cannot have GOP Taliban tactics dominating women's health choices. How would men like women dictating male contraception or vasectomies? Rodanthi Kitridou, MD

The Republicans are trying to deny women access to birth control and to stop insurance companies from paying for it.

Trust women to make the choices for their lives, their health and their families.

this is about hearings going on about birth control..and congress trying to make it a religion issue...

In this current political climate in which women's access to contraceptives is seen a threat to religious freedom, it has become clear that an employer-based insurance system is perilious at best. If employers are allowed the ability to decide that providing health services constitutes an attack against religion, it is clearly time to move away from an employer-based insurance system and look towards an alternative such as offering Medicare for all American citizens. Everyone deserves a right to medical care. Your employer should not have the ability to decide that you are not allowed to be treated. Heath care needs to move to the public arena, and out of the hands of private employers.

The human rights of all women are being violated in the state of Virginia. Women are being discriminated against with the new bill passed requiring transvaginal ultra sound prior to seeking an abortion

Republican controlled state and local legislatures, and the US Congress, have attempted to limit access to birth control for women and carry out anti-choice religious discrimination of women through government legislation. We're calling on Americans to stand up and ask for investigations into breaches of their oath of office to protect the constitution, and for investigations into breaches of the tax exempt codes for churches delving into the political arena.
