CO House Committee Advances Bill To Preserve Funding for State Family Planning Initiative

February 25, 2015 — A Colorado House committee on Tuesday voted 8-5 to advance a bill (HB 15-1194) that would use $5 million from the state's general fund to continue a program that helps improve access to long-acting reversible contraceptives among low-income women, the Denver Post reports.

According to the Post, the state House Public Health Care and Human Services Committee passed the measure with bipartisan support. The bill now heads to the state House Appropriations Committee, where it will receive a second hearing (Bunch, Denver Post, 2/24).

1. Won't advance on the GOP-controlled Senate though...

Unless we can get a few women Republicans or two (there are a few morons) to support this bill, otherwise, it's dead.
