#upliftingnews

That's cool. Anyone know of any job openings there? LOL

Holy shit that’s amazing

You lucky Washingtonians you...

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)

Namely: As of January 1, 2019, all Washingtonians with state-regulated insurance can now pick up over-the-counter contraceptives for free at their in-network pharmacies, according to the Office of the Insurance Commissioner.

Those contraceptives include "Condoms, spermicides, emergency contraceptives, and sponges."

You can find out more information about that in your benefits book, which will also give you any other instructions you need about picking up the contraceptives.

We got the legal weed! We got the gay marriage! We got bald eagles! We got free abortion! WASHINGTON IS ‘MERICA!

Wooo!!! Go Washington. Just so you guys know. If your insurance is ACA compliant. They are required to provide female birth control and female sterilization at $0 copay. States add their own laws about this. Which is great because if ACA changes or gets removed, these states will still likely have free birth control and sterilization.

Edit: Washington is offering free condoms and plan B AND vasectomies. THAT is AWESOME! Go Washington!

Greetings and congratulations on your procedure! If your doctor is not already on our Childfree Doctors List, would you mind adding them to it? We only need their name and specialty (urologist, OB/GYN, or GYN), address, phone number, and website. Feel free to also provide your age, the type of procedure you underwent and some comments about the referral, approval or consultation process. This will help the community (and other childfree people in your locality) tremendously. Note to lurkers Any comment of the -You will change your mind- or -Think of your femininity/masculinity- variety or other disparaging reply will be immediately removed and the offender will be banned. If OP is old enough to have children (which is permanent) and not regret it, they are also old enough to choose to never have children and not regret. Choosing fertility and/or parenthood is no guarantee of non occurrence of regret. Let me direct you to our overwhelmingly large collection of regretful parents testimonies for proof. Note to the community Please do not feed bingoers. Report them to the mod team and we will take care of them. Thanks and have a pleasant day!
