House Bill 1140 to ensure that health insurers cover contraceptives was passed in the Pennsylvania House on June 25. Fourteen Republican women voted “yes” on the bill. Rep. Leslie Rossi was not among them. Apparently, she believes that legislators can determine the suitability and safety of over-the-counter contraceptive medications better than a woman’s doctor or medical experts at the FDA.
Margie Zelenak is running against Rossi to represent the 59th District. Zelenak trusts that women are capable human beings and believes that they can make personal medical decisions without interference from legislators or barriers by insurers.
A vote for Zelenak is a vote to protect women’s rights.
