Today, in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Hobby Lobby, Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant made the following statement: 

“Today, the Supreme Court took women’s rights backward, deciding that a woman’s boss can interfere in her most basic health care decisions. The fact is that access to affordable contraception is a basic right and a vitally important part of women’s health care — and is none of an employer’s business. It is unbelievable that in 2014 we are still fighting for women’s most basic rights, and that politicians like Rick Scott want to turn the clock back even further.”
