Cheers to Carolyn Maloney in the House and Lautenberg in the Senate for introducing a bill to help women access contraception.
What i appreciate is that Maloney's bill does try to balance the right of the pharmacists to their beliefs--something I support, unlike maybe most folks here, with the right of women to their prescription. Some of the womens groups will bleat that they wish this could go further, like stripping the licenses of these pharmacists, but i think this bill is a good compromise. Maloney's bill is co-sponsored with Shays, to give it some bipartisan cover.
