Right to health is to educate, motivate and empower women advocates Michigan

This new organization is reported Michigan to hold on legislation that could be harmful to the health of women.

Did you know that women in Michigan will have to buy separate insurance for an abortion, if you raped or having a pregnancy that threatens their health - and the women who can not buy buy individual coverage in the private market is, this insurance all prices ? Or how about pending legislation that will give the provider of health care to deny the right to medical treatment or services if they have a religious or moral objections to the care you need?

You can use the law as the know, but not many others in Michigan. Therefore launched a new non-profit organization on Thursday. The mission of the right to health is to limit the access of women, health care, law required to inform the citizens of Michigan has passed legislation or as.

The Michigan Senate Democratic leader Gretchen Whitmer is the mouthpiece of the right to health, the communities will visit in Michigan to provide education and opportunities for participation.

Here Whitmer told the Detroit Free Press:

Legislation is often a very dysfunctional place. Sometimes we think that it is easier to go to the legislature to try to work in it. But we try to make the government out of health care decisions for women and their children. We need to organize.

As a non-profit organization, the right to health is not to support political activity. What it will do is provide a platform for information, the creation of a coalition and sparks discussions among residents of Michigan - people the information they need to take measures for your account, such as contact with their legislators.

The right to health website:

The right to health is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public and creating a network of Michigan interested in women's access to health care.

Deny access to prevention, to interfere with practices based on science, medical access, to prevent women to have quality health care serious consequences. Right to health is to educate the public about and to a network dedicated in creating of people:

the importance of quality health care accessible to women

the right of women to make their own decisions of private health care

There is absolutely no doubt that the right to health is a necessary presence in Michigan. Legislation undermine a woman's right to choose a lot of the problem here, but it is only one facet. Restrict access of women to abortion provides direct risks to human health, especially in the abortion law misspelled assurance Michigan. Also, many companies are struggling in Michigan the mandate of ObamaCare birth control, decision of the Supreme Court support of Hobby Lobby, which may limit women's access to contraception - a drug that is commonly used medical reasons beyond preventing pregnancy. And do not forget: preventing unintended pregnancies reduces abortions.

The list is long - and so the battle for the legislature is to keep in personal health decisions women.
