Go Hawaii!

Go Hawaii!

While some states have been chipping away at women's access to health care, Hawaii has been working to expand access. Gov. Abercrombie just signed a law that ensures sexual assault victims are provided accurate, unbiased, information about emergency contraception – and access to it – when receiving emergency medical care at Hawaii's hospitals. Thank you, Gov. Neil Abercrombie!
