House hearing on the birth control coverage requirement…what’s missing?

Women.

The anti-birth control lawmakers who want to give employers the power to deny women coverage for contraception don’t want to hear from women or from anyone who disagrees with them. In fact, they turned away a young woman from Georgetown University who had been invited by Democrats on the committee to testify about the role birth control plays in women’s health. According to lawmakers determined to turn back the clock on women’s health, she is not “qualified” to discuss the issue.

Tell Congress enough is enough: back off on birth control now.
