Birth control bill progresses (The Eau Claire Spectator)

A bill Gov. Jim Doyle plans to veto if it reaches his desk still has many on UW campuses concerned.

The bill, authored by Rep. Daniel LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, would prohibit advertising, prescribing or dispensing emergency contraception on UW campuses. The state Assembly passed it 49-41 on June 16, and it will now move to the Senate Committee on Health, Children, Families, Aging and Long-Term Care.
