Ron Stollings: For access to birth control; against age requirements

Health care providers criticized some lawmakers for requiring that only adult women be able to obtain birth control over the counter. Stollings had amended the bill in committee so that adolescent girls could also obtain birth control over the counter. Sen. Patricia Rucker, R-Jefferson amended the bill on the Senate floor so that it applies only to adult women. Stollings said the bill will allow women to plan their lives better but would have been a better bill without the age requirements.
