From our report #WhoseFaithMatters: "Several religious denominations even hold that the right to make decisions about one’s reproductive healthcare is an essential aspect of religious freedom." #PutPatientsFirst
Rabbinical Assembly: "Denying a woman...full access to the complete spectrum of reproductive healthcare...deprives women of their Constitutional right to religious freedom."
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: “[f]or some, the question of pregnancy and abortion is not a matter for governmental interference, but a matter of religious liberty and freedom of conscience protected by the First Amendment."
Rev. Howard Moody: "Freedom of choice is what makes us human and responsible. And for women, the preeminent freedom is the choice to control her reproductive process"

The #PutPatientsFirst Act would ensure that patients, not their healthcare providers, have the right to make decisions about reproductive care based on their OWN needs and beliefs.
