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.

Abortion is not birthcontrol, it is mercy.

The right of an individual human being v.s. the idea of a stranger not in the same position… What utter insanity to even give energy to these ‘Dictatorship Laws’!

This is what our country is founded on. The freedom of choice of our bodies and our beliefs.

No government has the right to tell me what to do with my body. I am the one who would be caring for the children, not the father and surely not the government.
# 24,419:
It'z of nobodies business to tell me whether I should be producing or not especially not a man's decision. Women need to have the freedom of option, it'z our body our rights!!

Canadians had this same problem at one time. Unfortunately, along the road to realizing that infringing on a woman's reproductive choices was an infringement on their civil rights, many people were injured and killed during attacks on Abortion Clinics and the Doctor's who performed abortions. I'd like to see how men would feel if they were forbidden to have a vasectomy, or required to get a permit to do so. The hue and cry of infringement on their civil rights would be so loud it would be heard on the moon.
# 24,416:
It should be a woman's decision. Isn't that enough reason?
# 24,415:
We deserve the freedom of choice

Look what right is it for a male to tell a female what to do with her body. So girls its time to kick them where it hurts in govement and show them that it is up to you .
# 24,410:
A woman's body is hers to deal with based upon the morals that she has and the ethics she encorporates. Nobody else should be able to force their morals and ethics upon another individual, male or female.
