6 Pro-Choice Wins Where You Least Expected Them
So this is a little depressing – 21 states have an anti-choice government. *Sigh*. But that doesn’t mean that hope is lost if you’re pro-choice and live in one of these places. In fact, some amazingly awesome pro-choice things happened where you’d least expect them:
1) A federal judge blocked North Dakota’s ban on abortion after six weeks:
2) Oklahoma school district ended “abstinence-only” programs:
3) Dane County, Wisconsin passed legislation that requires all relevant organizations contracting with the county to provide comprehensive and non-directive reproductive-health care information.
4) Michigan said "no" to forced transvaginal ultrasounds:
5) A federal judge in Arkansas blocked an abortion ban after 12 weeks:
6) Oklahoma state Rep. Doug Cox laid down the pro-choice law for his anti-choice colleagues
See, pro-choice change can happen even in the most anti-choice of states. So if you live in one of these states, keep fighting!
