Will they tell women where they can obtain birth control for $9/month?
Via The Hill:
Planned Parenthood unveiled a text helpline Monday for women who have lost or will lose contraception coverage in their health plans after last week’s Supreme Court Hobby Lobby ruling.
The pro-abortion rights group says women who have lost birth control coverage or have questions about their healthcare can text the helpline to learn about their options.
The Supreme Court ruled last week some employers could deny workers access to free contraception coverage under their health insurance plans if it would infringe on the employer’s religious beliefs.
The group says women can text “birth control” to 69866 to report their employer has refused to pay for coverage. Those who use the text service get an email or phone follow-up from Planned Parenthood explaining what options the worker has and help on how to get free birth control.
“What’s important for people to remember is that this is about basic healthcare for women. Ninety-nine percent of sexually active women will use birth control at some point in their life — not only to prevent unintended pregnancy, but for a variety of health reasons,” added Richards.
