Stand Up for Prevention and Public Health!

Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
Good news. Congress is taking steps to invest more money in Title X ("ten") family-planning services and less in discredited, ineffective "abstinence-only" programs. This would be a dramatic reversal from recent years, when anti-choice lawmakers spent your tax dollars on right-wing ideology in the classroom but refused to fund basic health care for millions of uninsured women.

But it's not a done deal yet. Your members of Congress will be hearing from the anti-choice radicals; make sure they hear from you, too! Please fill out the form below, and make sure your voice gets heard.

goal: 25,000

Dear [Decision maker],

I am writing to you about two important funding decisions that will be made in the FY '09 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill.

Title X, the nation's cornerstone family-planning program, has been woefully underfunded for years, jeopardizing basic health care for five million low-income, uninsured families. For many women, particularly those who cannot afford private health insurance, Title X clinics provide their only source of basic health care, such as birth control and cancer screenings. The House has proposed a $15 million boost for Title X, and I urge you to support this increase.
