Your rules to undermine the guarantee of contraceptive coverage in insurance plans are an assault on our constitutional rights. It perverts the definition of religious liberty and disrupts progress toward gender equality. Do not use religion as an excuse to discriminate against countless Americans.
I’m concerned that HHS’s new rule will take away insurance coverage of birth control and allow employers to discriminate against women. Having no-cost birth control coverage has been so important to me and others across the country. Our access to care should not be restricted by our bosses’ religious beliefs. I want to make sure HHS hears from me: please protect this benefit. Our health and equality depend on it.
Stop blocking young immigrant women from safe and legal abortion care. It is unconstitutional and unconscionable to force young women to continue a pregnancy against their will, no matter their documentation status.
Neither of college basketball’s reigning national champions will visit the White House this year.
Two months after North Carolina men’s coach Roy Williams said a scheduling conflict would prevent the Tar Heels from accepting President Donald Trump’s invitation, South Carolina women’s coach Dawn Staley made a similar announcement Thursday night. The White House is holding Collegiate National Champions Day on Friday.
...when Trump invited championship teams from other sports to the White House but did not bestow that same honor on South Carolina. By last month, a frustrated Staley told the Associated Press she wasn’t even sure the Gamecocks would go to the White House even if they did receive an invitation.
“We won before those other teams won their championships,” Staley said. “I don’t know what else has to happen.”
When South Carolina’s invitation to Friday’s White House event finally did arrive earlier this month, Staley declined it. The Gamecocks defeated Clemson on Thursday night and have a practice scheduled for Friday in preparation for facing Wofford on Sunday.
The South Carolina women and North Carolina men aren’t the only two title winners not to celebrate their accomplishment with Trump at the White House. Trump rescinded an invitation to the Golden State Warriors this summer after many prominent players on the team publicly expressed misgivings about appearing with Trump given their clashing political ideologies....
Misogynist to dis women like this.
Rude to make the invitation so late.
Stupid to think that any team would show on a Friday during the season.
SSDD.
What’s up with Kay Ivey? The dim-witted tribalism of people like Alabama Governor Ivey, who all but said she’d elect Jack the Ripper to the Senate as long as he pledged to overturn Roe v. Wade.
