Religious leaders who fought for the landmark contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act are celebrating the Aug. 1 start of coverage and launching an education campaign aimed at helping women and families understand who is eligible for coverage. As people of faith, we regard expanded access to contraception and other preventive services as expressions of our religious values of concern for women’s health, the needs of vulnerable populations, and strong families.
Many women and families do not know about the women’s health services available under the ACA. We’re taking practical action to inform them, while other groups are spending their donor dollars and time on lawsuits against women’s health care.
