WOMEN’S HEALTH WEEK: Kelly Ayotte Worked to Allow Employers to Deny Their Employees Insurance Coverage for Contraception
Concord, N.H. -- Today, the New Hampshire Democratic Party continued its Women’s Health Week efforts to hold Kelly Ayotte accountable for her record of voting to make it more difficult and expensive for women to access the healthcare they need. Today’s reason why Kelly Ayotte is wrong on women’s health: her work to allow employers to deny their employees insurance coverage for contraception.
Kelly Ayotte was an original co-sponsor <http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=85640cc70a&e=aac58c81e5> of and voted for<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=7f3536b3da&e=aac58c81e5> the Blunt Amendment. This provision would have given all employers, not just religiously-affiliated ones, the right to refuse coverage of any medical treatments or services they disagree with, allowing employers to deny women coverage for birth control<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=ebb7e3819c&e=aac58c81e5> and other important preventive health services. Ayotte also praised<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=830f5c8b17&e=aac58c81e5> the misguided Hobby Lobby decision that denied some women insurance coverage for their birth control.

“A woman’s boss shouldn’t be the one determining whether or not she has access to birth control, and Kelly Ayotte’s efforts to make that nightmare a reality are just another reason why she is wrong on issues of women’s health,” said New Hampshire Democratic Party Press Secretary Melissa Miller. “For too long, Kelly Ayotte has played politics with women’s healthcare. Granite State voters have had enough.”
