2011 Washington legislative session

Our priorities remain steady as we advocate for the rights of all women and their families. 

The 2011 legislative session is in progress and our top priorities are:

- Protect women from deceptive and dangerous practices by "limited service pregnancy centers."

- Clarify and protect the rights of parents who are registered domestic partners and permit compensated surrogacy agreements, subject to stringent protections for women acting as surrogates.
