Protect Women's Reproductive Freedom!
Target: U.S. SenatorsSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
Women make up more than half of the population of the United States, yet women still struggle to gain freedom over our most basic rights – the right to plan our pregnancies, the right to choose when and if to have a child, and the right to control our bodies, WITHOUT government interference in our private medical decisions!
On January 22, 2004, the 31st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) introduced the federal Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), a landmark piece of legislation that will protect women's civil liberties and prohibit the government from interfering in the exercise of reproductive rights.
Help pass this bill to protect our most fundamental freedoms! FOCA is about reproductive freedom at its most basic for ALL women – FOCA protects a woman's right to choose to bear a child as well as her right to plan her pregnancies with birth control and to choose to terminate a pregnancy. FOCA prohibits discrimination against the exercise of reproductive rights.
Tell your Senators today: support the Freedom of Choice Act! Sign below.

Without freedom of choice no woman is truly free.

Abortion is a reality that will exist whether it is legal or not so the question is whether you value women's lives enough to keep them safe from the dangers of illegal abortion and whether you value our legal system enough not to enact laws knowing that they will not be obeyed.

Women cannot be truly free until they have control over their own bodies. It’s a choice that she must make not the government or religious institutions.

No one but me and my parter have the right to decide if and when to carry a pregnancy to term. Abortion on demand is guaranteed in almost all civilized countries, the US should be leading the charge.

nobody should have the right to make choices for another person
# 16:
I think that universal ethics dictate no slavery; NoBody is owned by another.
# 15:
A decision so personal as reproduction SHOULD be up to the individual and not a bunch of strangers on a bench.
# 14:
Every person's choice!
# 13:
it is a womans body, and she has every right to chose!
# 12:

It is a universal and basic human right.

What is needed are realistic sexual education classes in our schools that educate students on the risks of unprotected or underprotected sexual behavior. These risks include sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Access to contraception and emergency contraception for those who are sexually active is also needed. Except in cases of sexual assault, a woman has the choice to protect herself from the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy. She can choose to abstain from sex, correctly use varied methods of contraception, or have a tubal ligation. A woman who was not a sexual assault survivor had control over when she decided to have sex or who she decided to have sex with.

Women should not have to worry about our reproductive freedom every time a Supreme Court Justice retires! This bill is essential for full equality and freedom for all women.
