Cecile Richards: A Victory for Women

Women won in Washington this week. The Obama administration's decision to protect the birth control coverage benefit that is part of health care reform will have a real and direct impact on millions of Americans. For women in America, this is a watershed moment. The birth control coverage benefit is one of the most important breakthroughs for women's health care in a generation. Birth control will be treated like any other preventive prescription, and it will be more accessible than it's ever been.
This benefit matters to women from all corners of this country and from all walks of life -- and when it mattered most, the Obama administration stood strong against efforts to take it away.
No employer should dictate whether their workers have access to affordable birth control, especially since it's basic health care. And especially when it would deny those workers a benefit other Americans have access to under health care reform. Fortunately for Americans, the Obama administration rejected this effort today. We applaud the administration's decision. And millions of women across America do, too.
