MS. Foundation for Women Condemns
High Court Attack on Women's Health and Rights

For Immediate Release
June 30, 2014
“Employers are proselytizing by paycheck – and women could pay for it with their health and economic security.”

WASHINGTON — Ms. Foundation for Women President and CEO Teresa Younger issued the following statement in response to today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing employers to refuse to pay for birth control coverage under employee health benefit plans mandated by the Affordable Care Act.

“Rather than support religious freedom, the high court sacrificed women’s reproductive justice on the altar of religious intolerance. Today’s decision violates women’s reproductive and economic rights while potentially endangering their health.

“Birth control is preventative health care. Ensuring coverage of contraceptives has meant that more women can plan their families, have healthy pregnancies and healthy children. Birth control pills are also used to treat medical conditions, such as endometriosis, improving the overall health and quality of life of women.

“Contraceptive coverage is not just about ensuring women have access to basic, preventative health care, it also is about women’s economic security. Without birth control coverage, many women would have to pay anywhere from $15 to $50+ per month. Women will need to come up with hundreds of dollars each year to pay for their preventative health care – unless the government provides coverage for women whose employers opt to deny birth control.
