Kathleen Rice Statement on Supreme Court's "Hobby Lobby" Ruling

Statement

"Today's Supreme Court ruling allowing bosses to interfere with the personal healthcare decisions of their female employees has nothing to do with religious freedom. What the five male justices of the Court did today was codify discrimination into the law. The Court told us that the personal beliefs of our bosses trump our right to make our own healthcare decisions. Today's ruling confirms what many of us already knew: that women's rights are still very much under attack in 21st Century America. I will work tirelessly with our advocates and allies in congress to take on the extremist politicians and CEOs who think our health isn't as important as their political and personal beliefs."
