If You’re Angry About Hobby Lobby…That’s Because You Should Be
Organizing for Action
(Letters to Editors)
When the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby ruling came down on Monday, I was speechless.
All I could think about was what this ruling means for American families across the country whose employers now have a say in whether their birth control is covered by their insurance.
We’ve heard from countless OFA supporters who are fired up about it — if you’re angry, that’s because you should be. No one’s boss should be able to dictate their health care.
Right now, folks at the White House are working with champions in Congress to look for a solution to fix what this ruling broke. (There’s more to come on that soon.) The most important thing we can do right now is to keep making our voices heard — on social media, with friends at cookouts this weekend, everywhere.

What became crystal clear this week is exactly who’s willing to stand up for a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions — like Senate Majority Leader Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — who came forward to say they’re going to work to find a solution for the women affected.
It also painted a clear picture of who really couldn’t care less.
Contraception isn’t just a women’s issue — it’s part of millions of American families’ lives.
The court effectively said that some companies can choose which forms of birth control it wants to cover based on no other criteria than what the company’s owners personally feel is acceptable.
If you’re like me, this is pretty straightforward: No one should have their boss deciding which prescriptions are right for them.
Right now, it’s up to the people who are outraged to say so, and keep on doing it.
