Stop the Silent War on Contraception
Target: Hillary Clinton, SenatorSponsored by: Friends of Hillary Clinton
There's a quiet war going on in America – against the most basic rights of Americans, especially women, to make their own personal decisions about family planning.
It was started by a small group of extreme ideologues who claim the right to impose their personal beliefs on the overwhelming majority of the American people.
They're waging this silent war on contraception by using the power of the White House and their right-wing allies in Congress -- and so far, they're getting away with it.
The United States has one of the highest rates of unintended pregnancies in the industrialized world. And the impact of the war on contraception is borne by the poor: a poor woman is four times as likely to experience an unplanned pregnancy as a higher-income woman.
That's why Senator Hillary Clinton and Congresswoman Nita Lowey have introduced a Congressional Resolution to Strengthen Family Planning Services for Women - and they need your voice to make sure every member of Congress votes on this Resolution. Become a co-sponsor today and help us pass this important resolution to ensure women have access to contraceptives! Senator Clinton will forward your message to your Congressional representatives.

Contraception is taking responsibility for one's sexuality and strengthens families and society by allowing women (and men) to give their themselves and their potential families a better chance for educational and socioeconomic success.

Medical issues deserve to be treated as such. Birth control is a valid medical prescription and should be available to all women who choose to use it.

I feel that there should be all types of contraception available to all women at every 24hr. walk in clinic as well as at the hospitals, in the high schools washrooms etc. They need to be made availabe as well as free in order to effectively control unexpected births.
