Draw the Line

[sheshe2]

Your boss isn't allowed to tell you where to go on vacation. Your boss has absolutely no say in how you spend your salary.

So why should your boss get to decide whether you can use your health insurance to get copay-free birth control?

The answer is simple: They shouldn't.

Speak out now to stop employers from denying women access to copay-free contraception. The deadline for comments is April 8, 2013.

On February 1, 2013, the Obama Administration announced that it will stand firm in its commitment to copay-free birth control under the Affordable Care Act.

This announcement angered the small—but incredibly vocal and well-funded—opposition that wants to deny women this critical benefit based on an employer's "religious objections." These groups are flooding the Department of Health and Human Services with reasons why women don't deserve affordable reproductive health care. But we know they're wrong—and we're speaking out.

Stand up for women's health. Send your comments to HHS before April 8, 2013.

The Center believes that access to contraception is a human right that cannot be subject to an employer's religious opinions. Allowing employers to deny women coverage of copay-free contraception would directly harm employees' health, burden them financially, and infringe on their rights.

This issue is too important to remain silent. Take action today.

Thanks, as always, for all you do,

Nancy Northup
President & CEO

6. Across my teaching career, my contracts gave my bosses a say in how I spent my money

and how I spent my time away from work, because my contracts could be terminated for 'moral terpitude'.

Now, moral terpitude, is a weasley term, depending upon those who invent claims against it.

I know a physicist who taught at a rather fundamental evangelical college in Wheaton Illninois who was fired when someone squealed that he had served wine at a dinner at home.

I know of a microbiologist/geneticist who was terminated because he visited a strip club while away from school at a convention.

7. Now that's just sad!

And un frigging believable!

8. People often hold teacher to higher moral standards than clergy

A contract at one school said I had to be "friendly" and didn't specify with whom.

9. That statement alone makes me nervous!
