ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE
asking your employer to cover contraception?
Don't Be
Lots of people have used these tools. Employers usually thank them for coming forward with such important, useful information. By talking about contraceptive coverage with others, most people gain a sense of connection- they realize they are not alone. Find a buddy. Start a ripple effect at your workplace- click on success stories.
Be Smart
If you circulate a petition at work, make sure you do it during your break, at lunch, or on off-work hours. Keep your tone respectful and informative- that's always the best way to persuade others. It works!
Get the Facts
If your employer, union leader or coworkers don't understand the importance of covering contraception, ask them to consider the facts. Print the facts, give them a copy, and ask them to visit this website. Contact us if you need more help.
Know your rights
Your health insurance benefits are an important part of your pay. You have a right to voice your concerns. It is against the law for an employer to retaliate against you for exercising your rights.
Unsure because you are opposed to abortion?
Contraception prevents unintended pregnancy, helps women plan their pregnancies and reduces the need for abortion. However, recent debate has focused on abortion instead of steps to prevent unintended pregnancies in the first place.
