Bad news: Washington's Reproductive Parity Act, a progressive, pro-lady bill that would make our state the first (and only) to require insurers that offer maternity coverage to also pay for abortion coverage, is quietly circling the legislative drain. It's got the votes needed to pass on the senate floor but still hasn't been voted out of the Rules Committee and time is running out: Bills need to be passed by 5:00 pm today.

"We're really fighting for it but right now it's unclear if we're going to get that vote," says Sara Keisler, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood Votes NW.

Here's what you can do: On your lunch break, call (360-786-7604) or email Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown (D-3) and politely tell her that HB 2330 is a priority and she needs to get her shit together, herd those goddamn cats, whatever it takes, and get this legislation passed before 5:00 pm.
