Action Alert--anyone in MA--NARAL has a request

The Emergency Contraceptive Act is expected to reach a vote in the MA state senate soon.

NARAL is sponsoring a 'write your state senator' campaign. It's here.

There are two things this bill will do: first, it will mandate that emergency rooms have Emergency Contraception on hand for rape victims. Second, it will allow pharmacists, after going through a training course, to dispense EC without a prescription.

It's a good bill--another way to make it easier to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, and with less hoops for the woman to run through.

I urge any Kossacks from MA to follow the link and send a letter off to your state senator. I've done so. Fred Berry's good on choice, so I'm sure he's amenable to this--but it doesn't hurt to send the letter.
