"Health ought to be universally recognized as a basic human right.

Well, Pay For My Birth Control And Call Me A Slut, My Coverage Is Finally Mandatory!
After years and years and years of women’s health care simply not being good enough, this victory feels particularly sweet. Not only is birth control coverage mandatory, but survivors of domestic abuse have more support and companies bigger than 50 are required to allow new moms to pump at work.
It is, in a word, awesome.
