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.

Any person should have the right to choose decisions about their planning of a prenancy and the size of a family. Would a man like to not have the right to choose a contraceptive or a vasectomy?

I hope I never feel as though I have to make the decision to have an abortion, but I'll be damned if the government is going to preemptively decide for me!

Government should not be allowed to make our personal, moral, and health decisions for us or to take those decisions away. Where is our president going to be when all these unwanted babies are forced upon the world? Unless he is willing to adopt them all, I think he should butt out.

It's a woman's right. Does Bush have a uterus? Then why is it his business? Pandering to the neo-conservatives.
