Free EC to protest over-the-counter veto


I love this. Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains will be giving away free emergency contraception this Friday to protest Colorado Governor Bill Owen’s veto of a bill that would have made the pill available over-the-counter.

Vicki Cowart, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, said, “The Governor has once again turned his back on the women of Colorado…Better access to EC could significantly reduce the number of unintended pregnancies – and thus the number of abortions – in Colorado. It’s unfortunate that the Governor did not support its passage.”
Free EC will be available at all 24 health centers in Colorado. Sweet.
