Washington State has tended to be ahead of the rest of the country when it comes to abortion rights. Prior to Roe v.

Now, the state is looking to set new precedent: It could soon become the first state to require all health plans to cover abortion.
I love my state.

Just needed a bit a good news on this front.
Besides being the home of a number of my friends, Washington state rocks.
This plus gay-marriage? Be still my heart.
That’s good to hear.
sometimes I’m proud of my state. (see also my gay marriage post)
