resolution calling for the Hawaii AG to investigate whether crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are violating patient #privacy laws
Often referred to as "fake clinics" or “unregulated pregnancy centers”, these are non-medical centers that provide free pregnancy tests & counseling, but typically do not offer essential #reproductive care like abortion or #contraception.
No one should have to #work in pain or sacrifice their #income to care for their #health.
#Reproductive leave would allow #workers to care for their health without #financial stress or fear of #discrimination.
Let’s create fairer #workplaces for all workers. Sign the #petition to call on 10 days of reproductive leave today!
