Provide Real Reproductive Health Care Coverage for Low-Income Women
Target: Tommy Thompson, HHS Secretary; George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
On January 31, the Department of Health and Human Services proposed making embryos eligible for government-funded insurance under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The proposal is the latest ploy in the Bush Administration’s ongoing stealth campaign to have government make abortions illegal. The proposal demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to the strategy of undermining a woman’s right to choose by ascribing legal rights to embryos.
Anti-choice, anti-family planning officials are driving the President's health care policy. This CHIP announcement is not a serious health care proposal. If it were, it would include low-income women as recipients for comprehensive health care.
Sign the petition below to tell the President and HHS Secretary Thompson that you oppose the extension of the CHIP program to embryos and to call on them to provide comprehensive health care, including prenatal care, to low-income women.

Low-income women deserve Birth Control & the right to choose. There would be far more poverty, desparation & crime because of desparate, hungry, underprivliged kids trying to survive. All pregnancies should be planned & kids born to stable homes & welcoming parents, therefore the kids are raised better in a healthy enviroment. As a result, much of society's ills will be reduced. Thank you.
