Now is it Time for the Reproductive Parity Act?

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 8/28/13, 6:46 pm

Dominic Holden is reporting that Group Health won’t cover abortions but they will provide abortion services to people who need them (???). I imagine the story will be a bit less muddled in next week’s paper, but that’s, like, a week away.

What we know now is that the regulatory environment is muddled at best. So now Rodney Tom can see plainly the consequences of his taking the leadership of the state Senate. If he wants it to pass, he can either send it to a committee that will pass it or he can support a 9th order challenge. But that would require him poutting women’s (and trans men and gender queers who can also need abortions) health and lives above his own personal ambition, so no.
