General Assembly votes to expand birth control access in Tennessee
“It’s similar to when people get contacts,” Sen. Raumesh Akbari said about expanding birth-control supply. “They can have it, stock up on it, and they’ll just have it, and won’t have to worry about missing a dose.” (The Daily Memphian file)
Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill that is meant to help patients who may not live near a pharmacy with their birth control.
