Access to birth control under attack, Democrats say

MADISON (AP) – Saying access to birth control is under attack, Democratic lawmakers introduced a bill Tuesday that would allow the state to sanction any pharmacist who refuses to dispense legal forms of contraception.
Democrats say the measure, which would define birth control as all forms approved by federal regulators, including the morning-after pill, is needed in the face of Republican proposals to chip away a woman’s right to contraception.
