What else can Washington State celebrate today, once all the legal weed runs out? Try this on for size: Our own Mom in Tennis Shoes™, Washington State senator Patty Murray, is behind a new bill aimed at overriding the nonstop horror show of a decision that is Burwell v. Hobby Lobby.

The bill, drafted by Senate Democrats in consultation with the Obama administration, would go ahead and require for-profit corporations (like Glitter-Glue for Jesus Hobby Lobby) to pay for contraceptive coverage just like other medical care. The House Dems are reportedly drafting a companion bill, too.

From the New York Times:

“Your health care decisions are not your boss’s business,” said Senator Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, who led efforts by Senate Democrats to respond to the court ruling. “Since the Supreme Court decided it will not protect women’s access to health care, I will.” [...]

Ms. Murray’s bill criticizes the Supreme Court’s majority opinion and repudiates it by declaring that “employers may not discriminate against their female employees” in coverage of preventive health services.

GO, PATTY, GO!!!!!! Hold on a sec, I'm restarting the Stranger Offices Chapter of the Patty Murray Fan Club, of which I am the motherfucking president. BRB, makin' some fan-club T-shirts with puffy paint bought at a non-misogynist craft store.
