[via OMJP] Here's our chance to help the Eastside Women's Health clinic! There are two bills that have a good chance of passing that Rep. Brendan Williams developed based on the Eastside Women's Health clinic's problem with their insurer jacking up rates 30 times (from $3,000 to $90,000) following the arson last January. The excuse given by their insurer was that they do abortions implying that the arsonist was opposed to abortion. Neither the FBI nor the ATF has determined the cause of the arson so it is speculation on the part of the insurer. Even if it might be true, it is not the fault of the clinic that a domestic terrorist chose them to set fire to. They and their patients and the women of this community should not be penalized with the loss of medical access to a legal procedure. Williams has included churches which have seen arson or damage by hate crime in the bills to broaden the appeal and liklihood of passage. You can try leaving a message at the legislative hotline 1-800-562-6000 for your own district reps. [update] I'm looking for this bill on William's website, but I don't know the title or number. Does anyone have that information so we can look at the specifics?
