Conraceptive Equity on New Jersey

I loves me some good news. From Planned Parenthood: Contraceptive Equity In New Jersey.

As one of his last acts as New Jersey's acting governor, Richard Codey signed into law a bill that will drastically improve access to contraceptives for thousands of New Jersey women by requiring employers, including the state government, to cover FDA-approved contraceptives. Currently, 24 other states have similar laws or policies. New Jersey's law will go into effect in July.

The Choice NJ Coalition, which includes Planned Parenthood Association of the Mercer Area (PPAMA), Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey, Planned Parenthood of Greater Northern New Jersey, Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan New Jersey, Planned Parenthood of Southern New Jersey, and the local chapters of NARAL Pro-Choice America and the National Organization for Women, worked to get the legislation passed.
