This has become a recent issue revolving around Donald Trump\u2019s election to presidential office in 2016. President Trump pushed to repeal an act that required employers to pay for birth control as part of health insurance policies. This repeal resulted in protests across the country due to the need people felt to have birth control access. Due to the repeal employers do not have to cover birth control if they have a religious problem or moral issue with the idea of birth control.\u00a0 This is significant because even in recent times women\u2019s reproductive rights continue to be a fight. There are often laws and regulations put into place, and those laws and regulations are often repealed, as in this case.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LVAtZSNMgm0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This video was taken during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanugh\u2019s confirmation hearing. Brett Kavanugh\u2019s confirmation was a highly debated issue in 2018. If he were to be eleceted he would swing the supreme court to the right, almost certainly causing a repeal in Roe v. Wade. During his hearing he made his opinion on abortion and birth control very clear, which caused some United States citizens to protest. Brett Kavanugh was confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This photo was taken in 2014 at a protest in Washington DC.
