(Bob Hague, WRN) Legislation allowing pharmacists in Wisconsin to administer oral contraception passes the state Assembly.

It’s from Sturgeon Bay Republican Joel Kitchens. “What this bill does really is it gives women more choices, it decreases unplanned pregnancies and by doing so decreases abortions. And it saves tax dollars and reduces generational poverty."

"I respect the moral opposition that some people have to birth control. But I think it’s not right for a small minority to impose their values on the rest of the state.”

The bill passed Wednesday on a strong bipartisan vote and would likely be signed by Governor Tony Evers if it passes the state Senate.
