Tell Obama to Keep Protecting Reproductive Choice

Target: Barack Obama, President
Sponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
President Obama needs to know pro-choice Americans' priorities. We elected him because millions of people came together and got more involved than they ever had before. Let's keep it up! We need the same kind of enthusiasm and activity to promote a pro-choice agenda.

Dear President Obama,

You have been a champion for privacy and reproductive freedom and a longtime friend to the pro-choice community. As you set the agenda for your new administration, I ask you to continue to uphold the values of freedom and privacy.

Please also:
1. Invest in prevention programs that reduce the need for abortion;
2. Protect women's access to abortion care;
3. Support healthy pregnancies;
4. Reclaim America's global leadership on reproductive health; and
5. Appoint judges who are highly qualified and committed to individual rights.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]

I am not a lawyer, but I have always believed that the First Amendment means that the government can not use its powers to enforce religious rules. It took quite a few centuries to get this to actually work. I am old enough to remember when it was illegal to mow your lawn on Sunday. If women who belong to certain religious sects don't want abortions that is OK. But the government should not impose any law on those that do not.

The more education and information women have about reproduction, the more likely they will not have an unintentional pregnancy, or contract disease.

It is important for women to have the choice to do what is right for them and to be supported in that choice. It is also better to raise a child when the mother is ready and when the pregnancy is not 'unintended'.

No one is "pro-abortion". No one wants MORE abortion. Being pro-choice means respecting a person's right to decide on their treatment, and working to reduce the need for abortion. No one should be allowed to impose their moral beliefs on others. And if men were the gender that got pregnant, this would not even be a question.
