San Diego – Rep. Scott Peters for released the following statement in response to today’s Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case:
“Today is a sad day for those of us who believe women have the right to make their own health-care and reproductive decisions without interference from their bosses, and for those who believe it’s in everyone’s interest for women to have access to affordable, safe preventative care. Today’s Supreme Court ruling is especially outrageous given the large percentage of women who use birth control pills to treat serious ailments ranging from endometriosis to post-chemotherapy hormone replacement. As a husband, father and long-time advocate for women’s rights, I stand with all Americans who find today’s ruling hugely disappointing.”
