UPDATE: The vote was yesterday, Wednesday, July 16, 2014. The bill failed to pass, but we are hearing that the fight is not over yet , and that we should continue urging and pushing our lawmakers for a Hobby Lobby fix. *************************************************************************** Time is of the essence! A fix to the harmful Hobby Lobby decision, the Protect Women’s Health from Corporate Interference Act, could be voted on as early as this week. So sign on NOW to urge your lawmakers to vote YES on the Protect Women’s Health from Corporate Interference Act! Bosses should NOT be able to make birth control decisions for us!

By vetoing the "72-hour waiting period" bill, Gov. Jay Nixon supported the rights and health of Missouri women over the interference of anti-choice lawmakers.

The ink is barely dry on the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision, but already conservative activists are trying to use "religious freedom" as a justification for firing people simply because they're gay. The White House is currently preparing an executive order that would prohibit federal contractors from discriminating against their employees. But yesterday, Rick Warren and other religious leaders sent a letter formally requesting that President Obama allow religious organizations that receive federal tax dollars to discriminate against LGBT employees. Most Americans, including most Christians, believe it's morally wrong to fire someone just because they're gay -- but the media is reporting on this letter as if its 14 signers speak for all of Christianity. So we're launching an emergency petition to show the White House just how many people are outraged that religion is being exploited to justify anti-gay discrimination.

Nearly 90 percent of abortion providers have had patients fear for their safety, and 80 percent have had to call the police because of safety concerns.

Hobby Lobby has won the right in court to impose their religious beliefs ontheir female employees by denying them birth control coverage, which is both an attack on their female employees and the ACA. We need to protect women's healthcare and the rights of workers everywhere.

I am a physician and reproductive rights activist. I am shocked that Eden, a company that "sells" good health, subscribes to the religious ban on birth control that has caused women so much sickness and misery--historically in the US and right now throughout the world. See http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60609-6/abstract Whole Foods is the place I have bought my Eden products in the past. It would be highly effective if this giant corporation took responsible action. Tell Eden that good health is more than food.

If Hobby Lobby can claim religious freedom over American women's rights, they should follow that belief in all their business dealings.

Unbelievable. The Supreme Court just sided with right-wing ideologues and gutted women’s right to birth control coverage under the Affordable Care Act. That means that at certain private corporations, decisions about women's health are left up to their bosses. We need to show Congress and politicians in November that women won't stand for this. Because right now, candidates and party leaders are trying to figure out how to respond, and right-wing politicians are planning more attacks on birth control. Our job is to make clear this simple fact: if you don't support affordable access to birth control, you don't support women--and that will cost you votes. If tens of thousands of us say this with one loud voice, candidates and elected officials will distance themselves from this decision and we'll begin the process to build our majority for birth control and reverse this decision. Take action and sign!

LAWMAKERS AND SUPREME COURT JUDGES HAVE USED THEIR POLITICAL AND JUDICIARY POSITION TO MAKE AND ENFORCE LAWS TARGETING WOMEN ONLY. WOMEN ARE LEGAL CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED. WOMEN ARE VOTERS AND WE SIGN THIS PETITION AS PLEDGE THAT WE WILL RIGHT THE WRONG AGAINST WOMEN - INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT.

Right now, if a woman serving abroad in the Peace Corps is raped and needs abortion care, she’s on her own. That’s because federal law does not allow abortion coverage for women in the Peace Corps – even in cases of rape, incest, or when her very life is threatened. The U.S. Senate is leading the charge to end this inhumane policy, but without support from the House this outdated rule will continue to unfairly punish women in the Peace Corps. Tell your representative to cover abortion care for Peace Corps volunteers who’ve survived rape or incest, or whose very life is threatened during pregnancy.

In 2013, the Virginia Board of Health finalized onerous and medically-unnecessary restrictions designed close women’s health centers that provide comprehensive reproductive health care, like cancer screenings and birth control, as well as safe, legal first-trimester abortion. The Board ignored the advice of medical experts and the input of thousands of Virginians, instead bowing to political influences intent on shutting down women's health centers. The Department of Health is now reviewing these restrictions and will decide whether they should be rewritten. Join us in submitting a public comment and tell the Health Commissioner and Board of Health to repeal and rewrite these politically-motivated restrictions to protect women's health and safety by relying on medicine, not politics.
