Dear Womxn Project friends,
Excluding abortion care from public insurance programs has taken away the right to abortion for far too many people for far too long. Folks from across Rhode Island are headed to the State House TONIGHT to see that change. The Senate floor vote on the Equality in Abortion Coverage Act (S32) begins around 4pm. We are also hearing that the House will IMMEDIATELY take it up (procedural step) and that the governor is poised to sign it TONIGHT!
We commend Senator Bridget Valverde for her leadership on this crucial bill and the 20 other senators who signed on to sponsor the legislation. We thank the Senate and House leadership for their swift action and the governor for his public statements in support of getting this done! This would not have happened without all of YOU!!
