Good news. Congress is taking steps to invest more money in Title X ("ten") family-planning services and less in discredited, ineffective "abstinence-only" programs. This would be a dramatic reversal from recent years, when anti-choice lawmakers spent your tax dollars on right-wing ideology in the classroom but refused to fund basic health care for millions of uninsured women.
But it's not a done deal yet. Your members of Congress will be hearing from the anti-choice radicals; make sure they hear from you, too! Please fill out the form below, and make sure your voice gets heard.
We took action on “Stand Up for Prevention and Public Health!”

Access to contraception and health services is a woman's right. You must provide more funding to Title X and remove funding for grossly ineffective abstinence only programs.

I have cared for the sick and injured for over forty years and now my health is limited at 63. It has been very hard to work as a registered nurse for so long and see the vast inequality and misuse of health care resources. It is wrong for the insurance companies and other corporate businesses make millions of dollars from the sick and injured. It has been very difficult to see relatively well off youth value unnecessary plastic surgery while disadvantage infants and elderly are not cared for because the services are unavailable to them. We must as a nation take better care of our children and elder population.

If you take away a woman's right to choose what she does with her own body, I guarantee you that what you are trying to prevent through "abstinence-only" programs will only (and ironically) cause more.
