More repro rights rollbacks...with a dash of good news
Jeb Bush signs a bill increasing state regulations and oversight of women’s clinics offering second-trimester abortions. The Governor said that he signed the bill “gladly, with pride and conviction,” and did so in an effort “to create a culture of life in our state.”
Blue Cross Blue Shield fixes a glitch that mistakenly made the company cover the costs for women’s contraceptives in a Montana clinic. Damn it.
But on the bright side…
An anti-choice protest falls through at the University of Washington. Cause pretty much no one was going to show.
Sex columnist Dan Savage takes on anti-choicers.
On Wisconsin lawmaker Danny LeMahieu, who wants to keep the University
of Wisconsin from advertising or providing emergency contraception:
Danny LeMahieu's bill wouldn't stop the student health centers in Wisconsin from passing out condoms to male students. So the gay boys at UW will have all the condoms they need for virus control, while heterosexual students have to go without birth control. The bill discriminates against heterosexual students exclusively—see, straight people? The American Taliban is after your asses too.
Does this assault on straight rights piss you off, my heterosexual readers? Then pick up your damn phones and call Danny LeMahieu at 608-266-9175 and tell him to stick his bad bill, AB-343, right up his pasty white ass. Or better yet, call Danny on his dime, and often, at 888-534-0059.
