Rep. Cory Mason

March 27th, 2012 • Contributed by Dino Corvino

In this podcast I ask Rep. Cory Mason(D) about his reaction to the flurry of Reproductive Health Care legislation that passed during the final evening of the session.

The Bills discussed are…

SB 92- Which prohibits insurance plans offered in the State Exchange in Wisconsin from offering abortion.

SB 237- Which is a repeal of the Healthy Youth Act.

SB 306-  Which is two fold.  One, it redefines what informed consent is, and two, it prohibits telemedicine in the case of abortion services.

Lon Newman and Julaine Appling

March 9th, 2012 • Contributed by Dino Corvino

Route 51 regional talk radio looks at both sides of the debate over national health insurance and the decision by the Obama administration to enforce mandatory coverage of contraception through the Affordable Care Act.  Host Glen Moberg moderated a discussion between Julaine Appling, President of Wisconsin Family Action, and Lon Newman, Executive Director of Family Planning Health Services Inc.  The issue has become prominent in the upcoming U.S. Senate race in Wisconsin, and has provoked heated exchanges between national pundits, with some decrying a “war on religion” and others a “war on women”.

Route 51, Wisconsin Public Radio regional talk show, can be heard from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Thursdays on the Ideas Network stations WLBL 91.9 FM Wausau, WLBL 930 AM Auburndale/Stevens Point, WHBM 90.3 FM Park Falls, WHAA 89.1 FM Adams/Wisconsin Rapids and for those with a high definition radio, on WHRM 90.9-3 HD

Catholic Groups Fight Contraceptive Rule, But Many Already Offer Coverage (Podcast)

December 2nd, 2011 • Contributed by Dino Corvino

The Catholic Church says new federal regulations requiring employers to provide no-cost prescription birth control as part of their health insurance plans infringe on their religious liberty.
