Congresswoman Lee Disappointed by Supreme Court Decision Undercutting Women's Access to Healthcare

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) offered this statement following the Supreme Court’s decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Burwell:

“I was disappointed by this morning’s Supreme Court ruling which fundamentally undercuts the rights of working women to make their own healthcare choices.

“Health care choices should be made by a woman in consultation with her healthcare providers. A woman’s employer has no place in those decisions.”

Congresswoman Lee joined 90 other Members of Congress in filing an amicus brief in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
