Today, U.S. Representative Gary Peters (MI-14) released the following statement following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. case:

"Today's Supreme Court decision is a dangerous step backwards for women's health and could significantly impact women in Michigan and across the country by leaving them without access to essential health care services. Women, not their bosses, should make their personal health care decisions. I'm ready to work with my colleagues to ensure that women have to the right to determine what's best for them without interference from their employers."
