       HB 2837 / SB 6452: Concerning limited service pregnancy centers Introduced by Sen. Rodney Tom, (D-Medina) (D) on January 14, 2010, requires limited service pregnancy centers to disclose certain information to its customers, including that they do not provide abortions or medical care for pregnant women. The act also requires the centers to provide free written statements for pregnancy tests. (Washington Votes) Call the legislative hotline (1-800-562-6000), tell the operator who answers that you have a message for the two representatives and one senator who represent you in Olympia: Vote No on HB 2837 and SB 6452. They unfairly target prolife pregnancy resource centers. Commentary:

		HB 1727 
		- Expanding the rights and responsibilities of state registered domestic 
		partners.  
		Declares that for all purposes under state law, state registered 
		domestic partners shall be treated the same as married spouses. Any 
		privilege, immunity, right, benefit, or responsibility granted or 
		imposed by statute, administrative or court rule, policy, common law or 
		any other law to an individual because the individual is or was a 
		spouse, or because the individual is or was an in-law in a specified way 
		to another individual, is granted on equivalent terms, substantive and 
		procedural, to an individual because the individual is or was in a state 
		registered domestic partnership or because the individual is or was, 
		based on a state registered domestic partnership, related in a specified 
		way to another individual. Provides that the act shall be liberally 
		construed to achieve equal treatment, to the extent not in conflict with 
		federal law, of state registered domestic partners and married spouses. |
