When will the world will catch up, treat us as equals, and let Ginsburg recover in a hospital bed in peace?
Up to 126,000 women are facing the possibility of losing access to contraceptives because of a Trump administration regulation being debated in the Supreme Court right now. This regulation overturns a procedure from Former President Obama’s Affordable Care Act that currently allows millions of women to access contraceptives for free through their employer-sponsored health insurance, according to ABC News.
ADVERTISEMENT "This leaves women to hunt for other government programs that might cover them," Ginsburg argued,"which is exactly what Congress didn't want to happen." Listening to #RBG argue for the right to contraception from her hospital bed may be the most inspiring act of feminism I’ve seen in my lifetime. #HandsOffMyBC #SCOTUS #contraception
Furthermore, the regulations posit the issue of whose religious beliefs matter most, as Ginsburg points out. “You are shifting the cost of the employer’s religious beliefs, the cost of that, onto the employees, who do not share those religious beliefs,” she said. If an employer is responsible for covering an employee’s healthcare, they shouldn’t get to pick and choose based on their own personal beliefs. Reproductive care is healthcare and contraceptives are healthcare, period.
