The Ladies / Olympia Day 19: Rob McKenna Still Doesn't Give a Shit About Women's Health

Posted by Cienna Madrid on Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 4:15 PM

Today is lobby day for women's reproductive health and rights in Olympia, otherwise known as "Hug a Uterus" day. Sadly, it is also "Birth a Paper" day here at Stranger HQ, so I'm not quite on top of my drum-bangin', uterus huggin' game.

Nevertheless, hundreds of activists are in Olympia urging their legislators to support Rep. Eileen Cody’s (D-34) Reproductive Parity Act, which would mandate that all insurance policies that offered maternity coverage in Washington state to also cover elective abortions.

And look who's out there joining them!

Noticeably absent on the issue: Republican gubernatorial hopeful Rob McKenna, who still hasn't gotten around to reading the bill (let alone supporting it), presumably because he doesn't give a shit about women's health.

I'm cooking chicken. But it's not a men's food issue. It's a person food issue. I like people food. Did I mention that I'm a dog? Not like one of those rapper guy dogs, but an actual dog. Yes, I realize it's impressive that I'm writing. However, I'll have you know that this took two and half hours to type out. Christ. Uhg, I wish I had thumbs. Fuck. SQUIRREL!
