I dissent.

Let's be clear: Everybody deserves birth control coverage, no matter where you work or go to school. The personal beliefs of your boss or school shouldn't dictate the care you can access.

Because of Trump's relentless crusade against Title X, many low-income people who once relied on the program for free birth control and other forms of reproductive health care can no longer receive low-or-no-cost care.

And with the latest Supreme Court decision, contraceptive options are only dwindling further. Last month, the Supreme Court held in a 7-2 decision that the Trump administration's effort to remove the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive coverage mandate was constitutional.

Support birth control access and say

The court added universities and publicly traded companies to the list of employers that can deny employees birth control coverage based on religious and moral objections – the expansion means that up to 126,000 people could lose contraceptive coverage.

These types of attacks on reproductive health aren't new. For decades, we've fought to uphold Roe v. Wade, to combat the disinformation organizations were peddling and dealt with low blows from an administration more concerned with control than providing care.
