We, the undersigned, join with Planned Parenthood and call on anti-choice politicians to STOP THEIR WAR ON WOMEN. We are opposed to the strategic assault on our rights and stand united against dangerous anti-choice measures such as the following:
Why are these men smiling? It's because George W. Bush and the
congressional leadership just succeeded in restricting your reproductive
freedom of choice. It's time to change that. Photo credit: AP/Wide World Photos
The president signs federal abortion ban, passed by Congress earlier in the year, criminalizing abortions as early as 12 to 15 weeks in pregnancy and imperiling women's health (November 5, 2003).
The president signs the so-called "Unborn Victims of Violence Act," passed by Congress earlier in the year, giving a zygote, embryo, or fetus the same legal rights as a person and further undermining a woman's right to an abortion (April 1, 2004).
The FDA bows to political pressure and delays making decision on converting emergency contraception to over-the-counter status (February 13, 2004).
Anti-choice hardliners resort to intimidation tactics to pressure NIH scientists to abandon research on AIDS, sexuality, and high-risk behavior (October 28, 2003).
We demand that our government help save lives, protect our health, and respect our privacy by supporting legislation that affirms reproductive and social justice for women at home and abroad.

I don't understand why our President is constantly attacking women. Women are the pillars of this nation and without us the nation dies. I used to think this was a free country but now I wonder. I think its only a free country if you're a rich, white male.

Oh wow... here we go. First off, government get out of my vagina. Second, if a raped woman is forced to have her child and she dies because of it, then the government officials have succeeded in their goal of becoming secondary murderers. Third, if the bastards who get women pregnant go unnoticed... well, nevermind, they do. Castrate the damn men and maybe women wouldn't get pregnant. Don't anyone dare say that 'she shouldn't have opened her legs;' he is just as much to blame. Fourth, are you attempting to make yourselves appear as backstabbing, sexist, controlling men? You're doing a pretty damn good job of it. Fifth, READ THE CONSTITUTION- women have rights. Suck it.
