In response to the Trump administration's announcement Friday that it will let more employers skip covering contraceptives, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf today asked for a state law requiring employers to cover birth control at no cost to workers.

“This ill-thought-out decision hurts all women, and even worse, this contraceptive restriction disproportionately affects low-income women who may now not be able to afford this important medication," he said in a news release. "I am calling on Pennsylvania’s legislature to fix this.”

Wolf said Pennsylvania will continue to provide birth control coverage to those in the Medicaid program and to state employees.

He also noted that people with annual income of 215 percent or less of the federal poverty guidelines may be eligible for birth control through a family planning services program Pennsylvania expanded in 2015.
