Using Contraception Could Soon Cost You Your Job In Missouri

Using Contraception Could Soon Cost You Your Job In Missouri
By Natalie Dailey on June 19, 2017

Under this new Republican regime, reproductive rights are taking a hit left and right. Many states are limiting abortion rights and access to birth control. Women in Missouri may be facing another setback in their reproductive rights.

The Senate in Missouri just passed a bill that would legally allow hiring managers to discriminate against women who use birth control or women who have had abortions. The law also requires abortion clinics to meet the same standards as outpatient surgery centers.

Governor Eric Greitens said:

“We want to protect life. We want to defend life, and we want to promote a culture of life here in the state of Missouri.”

Currently, the state bans employers from discriminating against these women. However, this new law would repeal it.

safe here nor welcome by the republican party.

Women in general are seen as problematic for the right.

Boy's will be boy's after all. Wink wink nudge nudge.

"Religious" Republican's are the biggest hypocrites in the world.

Can't regulate businesses because of 'FREEDOM', but can pry into a woman's most personal business. That's the GOP.
