Meet the Bill Democrats Have Created to Fight the Despicable Hobby Lobby Decision

[doxydad]

Last week, the Supreme Court decided that an employer’s religion could dictate the availability of contraception for all female employees, regardless of their beliefs. Shortly after, Democrats pledged to take legislative action to correct the injustice. This Wednesday, they have revealed what they have in mind.

Senators Mark Udall, D-CO. and Patty Murray, D-WA. have introduced a bill that bans any for-profit employer from refusing any form of health coverage (including contraception) to employees, regardless of how “closely held” they claim to be. Udall spoke about the bill at a news conference Wednesday:

Women should never have to ask their bosses for a permission slip to access common forms of birth control or other critical services.

The bill already has a strong backing with about 40 co-sponsors, none of which are Republican.
