PORTLAND, OR \u2013 El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, se uni\u00f3 hoy a defensores de los derechos de las mujeres y expertos en salud en Portland para pedir a la minor\u00eda del Senado que deje de obstruir la votaci\u00f3n de un proyecto de ley que impedir\u00eda a los empleadores bloquear el acceso de sus empleadas a los anticonceptivos. El proyecto de ley deshar\u00eda el fallo de la Corte Suprema en el caso Hobby Lobby, que permite a la mayor\u00eda de los empleadores optar por no cubrir los servicios vitales de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de las mujeres si afirman una objeci\u00f3n religiosa. Merkley es copatrocinador de la Ley de Protecci\u00f3n de la Salud de la Mujer contra la Interferencia Corporativa, tambi\u00e9n conocida como Ley No es Negocio de mi Jefe, que garantizar\u00eda que los empleadores brinden a las mujeres cobertura de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica cr\u00edtica, incluida la anticoncepci\u00f3n, como lo exige la ley federal.<\/p>\n
\n"Cuando se trata de la salud personal y reproductiva de las mujeres, ellas saben m\u00e1s", dijo Merkley. \u201cNo podemos simplemente entregar a los jefes y directores ejecutivos el poder de tomar decisiones personales sobre la salud de sus empleados. El fallo de la Corte Suprema fue una afrenta suficiente para las mujeres; es decepcionante que una minor\u00eda del Senado haya asestado otro golpe a las mujeres en todo el pa\u00eds al optar por bloquear este proyecto de ley. El Congreso debe defender a las empleadas en todo el pa\u00eds asegur\u00e1ndose de que reciban los beneficios de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica que se han ganado\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
El noventa y nueve por ciento de las mujeres estadounidenses utilizan m\u00e9todos anticonceptivos en alg\u00fan momento de sus vidas. El proyecto de ley copatrocinado por Merkley afectar\u00eda a millones de mujeres que dependen de la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica proporcionada por sus empleadores para reducir el costo de la anticoncepci\u00f3n. Como se\u00f1al\u00f3 la jueza Ruth Bader Ginsburg en su opini\u00f3n disidente sobre el caso Hobby Lobby, una mujer que trabaja con el salario m\u00ednimo tendr\u00eda que gastar casi un mes de ingresos para afrontar el costo inicial de un dispositivo intrauterino (DIU).<\/p>\n
Varios defensores de los derechos de las mujeres se unieron a Merkley para hablar sobre la importancia del acceso de las mujeres a los anticonceptivos.<\/p>\n
Las defensoras de la salud de las mujeres, Laura Terrill Patten, directora ejecutiva de Planned Parenthood Oregon, y Tracy Zitzelberger, MPH, miembro de la junta directiva de NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon, reiteraron que las mujeres no deber\u00edan tener que pedir permiso a sus jefes ni deber\u00edan pagar dinero extra. bolsillo para servicios m\u00e9dicos cr\u00edticos que ya han obtenido a trav\u00e9s de su empleo.<\/p>\n
Deborah Field, copropietaria de Paperjam Press, habl\u00f3 desde la perspectiva de un propietario de una peque\u00f1a empresa y se\u00f1al\u00f3 que no cre\u00eda que fuera apropiado que los jefes interfirieran en la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de los empleados.<\/p>\n
El 30 de junio, la Corte Suprema dictamin\u00f3 que las corporaciones con fines de lucro \u201ccerradas\u201d pueden negar la cobertura de anticonceptivos a sus empleadas bas\u00e1ndose en la Ley de Restauraci\u00f3n de la Libertad Religiosa (RFRA). El proyecto de ley de Merkley aclarar\u00eda que la RFRA no permite a los empleadores negar cobertura para un \u201cart\u00edculo o servicio de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica espec\u00edfico\u201d, incluidos los servicios preventivos.<\/p>\n
Hasta el 90% de todos los empleadores estadounidenses son corporaciones \u201ccerradas\u201d, y m\u00e1s de la mitad de la fuerza laboral estadounidense est\u00e1 empleada en empresas que entran en esta categor\u00eda. <\/p>\n
Desde que la Corte Suprema emiti\u00f3 su decisi\u00f3n, Merkley ha defendido a las mujeres presionando al Congreso para que tome medidas para corregir el fallo.<\/p>\n
Merkley ha defendido durante mucho tiempo la salud de las mujeres y el acceso a los m\u00e9todos anticonceptivos. Como presidente de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de Oreg\u00f3n en 2007, defendi\u00f3 la aprobaci\u00f3n de la Ley de Acceso al Control de la Natalidad de Oreg\u00f3n. En 2012, se pronunci\u00f3 en el Senado contra la Enmienda Contundente, una enmienda legislativa que, al igual que la decisi\u00f3n de Hobby Lobby, permitir\u00eda a los empleadores seculares con fines de lucro elegir la cobertura m\u00e9dica de sus empleados y negar la cobertura para el control de la natalidad. <\/p>\n
