#StandWithPeggy

Jessica Halperin, the UUA’s Witness Ministries Program Associate, sent us this from the rally in front of the Supreme Court on December 2. The UUA co-sponsored the rally to “#StandWithPeggy and all pregnant workers — because no one should have to choose between [their] job and the health of [their] pregnancy.”

December 2014 – Once again the UUWF has signed on to a letter urging the President to support women’s reproductive health in Fiscal Year 2016 by omitting all language from his budget request that would restrict access to abortion, most particularly the “Hyde Amendment” which was passed shortly after the Roe V Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide. It has often been assumed to be a permanent ban on federal funding for this medical procedure. On the contrary, it needs to be reintroduced and passed every year.
