Calls for Birth Control Coverage for All Women  August 1, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando - Women's health advocates want Congress to extend birth control coverage to all women. They rallied Friday at Congressman Dan Webster's office in Winter Garden. The advocates are protesting the U.S. Supreme Court's recent Hobby Lobby ruling, that some businesses don't have to provide birth control coverage if it contradicts religious beliefs. Anna Eskamani is with Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando. "Today we're out here asking for Congress to take action and to ensure that all women no matter who they work for and what their economic ability is and where they live that they will have access to birth control methods that are right for them." The advocates are calling on Webster to support a measure nicknamed the "Not My Boss's Business" bill. It's aimed at extending birth control coverage to all women. They met with Webster before their protest and said they were encouraged by the conversation. |
