DEMOCRATIC PARTY LAUNCHES PETITION IN SUPPORT OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS

Hartford, CT —The Connecticut Democratic Party today launched a petition in support of women’s rights after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Burwell v. Hobby Lobby decision. The decision rolls back women’s health care rights by allowing employers to deny access to basic reproductive health care benefits.

“I am urging all Connecticut residents to sign and share our petition. If you believe in progress for women, if you believe we cannot turn back the clock, and if you believe that women should make decisions about their health instead of their bosses, then you should sign our petition. Businesses should not be allowed to make decisions about women’s health—that should be up to a woman and her doctor,” said Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo.
