‘Boss bill’ would prevent discrimination based on reproductive health

A new bill that backers say would plug a loophole in existing labor laws was announced on Wednesday to make sure employers don’t deny employees birth control coverage under insurance plans.

Introduced by Sen. Liz Krueger, D-Manhattan, and Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, D-Suffern, the measure would ban employers from discriminating against employees based on their reproductive health choices.

1. Reproductive rights trump so-called "religious freedom"

Some religious folks want to codify those fictitious freedoms to impose their beliefs on others. This is a big screw that.
