“The act would also set up a reimbursement program for women who are without insurance or on Medicaid. Critically, the act also requires a review of maternal and reproductive health-care disparities between white women and women of color.” – Heidi Grooves, The Stranger
“This year, we’re advancing the Reproductive Parity Act, to make sure that health plans that cover maternity care also include coverage for abortion care.” – State Representative Tana Senn, Salon
“A long-standing priority for Democrats, the so-called “Reproductive Parity Act” requires health insurers in Washington that provide maternity care also to cover the cost of abortions. In addition, health plans in Washington must cover contraception without copays or deductibles.” – Austin Jenkins, KUOW
“What SB 6219 focuses on is affordability of coverage.” – KIRO 7
“When a health plan covers the costs of all reproductive health care, including abortion, it means people can make decisions based on what is best for their circumstances. When politicians deny coverage, the harm falls hardest on low-income women, women of color, and young women,” – Activist Jessi Murray wrote in an email to Seattle Weekly
