PCJF: Judge Calls Obama Administration Position a "Charade" in Blocking Morning After Pill

Today, U.S. District Court Judge Edward R. Korman heard arguments regarding the Obama administration’s Motion to Stay his Order from April 5, 2013, requiring that emergency contraception be made available without age and point-of-sale restrictions. Over a two-hour period, Judge Korman made it clear that the government’s position was unjustifiable. Calling the government’s conduct a “charade” the Judge condemned the “political influence” that has caused a “total and complete corruption of the administrative process.”

Tell Obama to stop restricting access to the morning-after pill!

Less than one month after the landmark Tummino v. Hamburg decision in which a federal court ruled that emergency contraception (known as Plan B) should be made available to all women without a prescription, Justice Department attorneys have announced that they will file to overturn that decision. The Obama administration is once again playing political football with women’s right to control our bodies and our health.

	Workers' rights are women's rights WORD fights for the rights of all women. We believe in equal rights for all. Every woman should have access to a good job, education, social programs and health services. Every woman deserves the right to live without fear, whether it be fear of sexual assault or fear of the INS. No person is illegal.
