Stand with Leaders of Reproductive Freedom

Target: U.S. Supreme Court Judges
Sponsored by: Care2
"A woman's body belongs to herself alone. It is her body. It does not belong to the Church. It does not belong to the United States of America or to any other Government of the face of the earth," said Margaret Sanger, a leader in reproductive rights who opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S.

Faye Wattleton, a nurse who saw women suffering from botched illegal abortions, stands up for reproductive freedom and other women's rights. "Reproductive freedom is critical to a whole range of issues," Wattleton said. "If we can't take charge of this most personal aspect of our lives, we can't take care of anything. It should not be seen as a privilege or as a benefit, but a fundamental human right."

Now is your chance stand with past and present leaders of reproductive health. Do your part by telling the Supreme Court never to sacrifice the reproductive freedom of American women!

Dear Justice [Name],

March is recognized as women's history month. I am doing my part by standing with past and present leaders of women's reproductive rights.

I am urging you, as a U.S. Supreme Court Judge, to recognize reproductive rights, and never to sacrifice women's reproductive freedoms.

As Margaret Sanger quoted, "A woman's body belongs to herself alone. It is her body. It does not belong to the Church. It does not belong to the United States of America or to any other Government on the face of the earth."

Please respect this statement and stand up for reproductive rights.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
