Oregon Legislature Advances Reproductive Rights

Wikimedia

While legislatures in other states continue to work on bills restricting abortion, Oregon is getting out front on birth control. 

House and Senate have both passed a bill that would guarantee no out-of-pocket costs for women prescribed a year of birth control. 

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregonplayed a major role in passage of the bill. 

Recently appointed Interim Executive Director Mary Nolan joins us with details of that and other issues on the Advocates' plate.
