Planned
Parenthood Votes! RI PAC, the Rhode
Island Chapter of the National Organization for Women and Emily’s List have endorsed the re-election
bid of Rep. Donna Walsh for Rhode Island House District 36.
Rep.
Walsh has been a long-time advocate for women’s rights starting in her first
term in the RI General Assembly when she spearheaded the push for equal pay for
comparable work.
In
the last session of the General Assembly, she fought for an end to the practice
of health insurance companies charging women more than men simply because they
are women. She also won the enactment of legislation ending the practice of
shackling women prisoners while they are giving birth.
She
is an unflagging supporter of women’s reproductive rights and marriage
equality.
Rep.
Walsh said, “I am proud to receive the endorsements from these vitally
important organizations who work every day for women’s health, women’s rights
and equality. I am honored to have their support.”
Representative Walsh represents
House District 36 which covers all of Charlestown and Block Island as well as
parts of Westerly and South Kingstown.
