13. Support the Reproductive Parity Act SB5009 /HB1044

Wed Jan 16, 2013, 06:43 AM

Jan 2013

The legislative session started today and we’re thrilled to support the Reproductive Parity Act, exciting legislation that will empower women to keep their families strong by ensuring that insurance plans in Washington cover abortion if they cover maternity care. Denying insurance coverage for abortion interferes with a woman's ability to make these important choices for herself and her family.

Support of the Reproductive Parity Act!

Washington is once again leading the nation on protecting and promoting access to reproductive health care.

The Reproductive Parity Act sponsored by Senator Hobbs SB5009 and Representative Cody HB1044 will ensure that a woman's decision about her pregnancy be made by herself and her family, not her insurance plan.
