Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is a big day for the women of this country. The United States Supreme Court will hear argument in a case called Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius. The Affordable Care Act mandates that employer-provided health care cover all forms of contraception at no cost. However, Hobby Lobby, a for-profit corporation, contends that its ``religious beliefs prohibit it from providing full coverage.'' I respectfully suggest, Mr. Speaker, that what is at stake is not the religious freedom of a corporation but the life and liberty and ability to pursue happiness by our daughters, our sisters, and our mothers. There is no more crucial right for women and their families than the ability for women to be in control of their own bodies. The decision to use birth control is a conversation for a woman and her physician, not a woman and her boss. Tomorrow is a big day for the women of this country. ____________________”
