SB 443 Unanimously Passes Health Committee

Openly lesbian State Senator Carole Migden is carrying SB 443, a bill which would end California's ban on HIV positive men accessing assistive reproductive technologies, joining 48 other states that currently allow the practice. Yesterday, the Sacramento Chronicle reports, the bill earned a rare bipartisan unanimous vote in the Senate Health Committee, which augurs a fast track approval in the Legislature's upper house.

SB 443 is on the list of legislative priorities for the Southern California HIV Advocacy Coalition.
