SB 1005 (Lara) Health Care for All
25 March 2014
Stand with us on Tuesday, March 25, 2014!
When: Tuesday, March 25, 5:00 - 6:00pm
Where: Ventura (Corner of Victoria Ave. & Telephone Rd.)
On Tuesday, March 25, the Supreme Court will hear opening arguments for the Hobby Lobby case, one of the two cases where lawyers will argue that corporations should have the power to deny employees access to birth control coverage based on the employer's personal religious objections.
Bosses should not be able to deny women preventive health care based on their personal beliefs. Birth control decisions are personal, and bosses have no right to impose their views on employees. What will these bosses object to next?
We need to let our community know what’s at stake in this Supreme Court cases! These cases could create, for the first time in American history, legal precedent allowing for-profit corporations to claim a right to religious freedom that would allow them to claim exemptions from a whole host of generally applicable laws.
Join us for a visibility rally that day to show your support for access to birth control coverage for all women! We’ll bring the signs. If you can’t join the rally, you can honk in support as you drive by! RSVPing to anna.lopez@ppsbvslo.org is highly encouraged, but feel free to stop by even if you forget to do so.
See you Tuesday!
