Bravo Oregon: Reproductive Health Equity Act

From Bill Moyers & Company

We mentioned yesterday that red states have been advancing a variety of laws that make it harder to get an abortion but easier for protesters to harass those who do, but last week Oregon took a markedly different approach to reproductive rights. Christina Cauterucci reports for Slate that the Reproductive Health Equity Act, "if signed by the very pro-woman Gov. Kate Brown... will enshrine the right to abortion care in state law." It also "requires insurers in the state to cover contraception, vasectomies, prenatal and postpartum care, abortion care, screenings for reproductive cancers and STIs, and counseling for survivors of domestic violence. All would be completely covered at no cost to patients, even if the ACA were repealed, with some federally mandated exceptions for churches and religious groups."
