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.

If men could become pregnant, I guarantee that freedom of choice would have been included in the Constitution as a certain unalienable right.

as long as there is no 100% effective method of birth control with no side effects, and that all women are free to choose to use, there has to be freedom of choice for women. Women must have control over their own bodies. No one else should ever have control over someone else's body.
# 24,477:
it is a human right of women everywhere.

Because I deserve all the freedoms that a man has!

Why can't the government and our country in general understand that women deserve the same rights as men. We have the right to make our own decisions concerning our bodies and it's time the government recognized that.
# 24,469:
This is a major pet peeve of mine, we as women and apart of America should have the right to our own bodies. We are the owners of our body not you or the government

I believe that a woman should have the right to choose what happens to her, and should be able to act on that choice.

I actually had to go through an abortion. I became so ill that I could have died. I was unable to carry the baby to term and still remain a healthy, functioning person. I had to choose whether my baby must die or both of us. However, I do not condone using abortion as a means of birth control. It ought to be for life and death type situations only.

I am pro-choice.
# 24,458:
It is not abortion I support. I would not want that for any woman. However, I do not get to make that choice. Freedom is choice. I support the right for any woman to choose what is right for one's self.
# 24,457:
If it were a man? There would be no problem.! Women have the right to make decisions over their own bodies, and no-one has the right to take this freedom of choice away from them. It is not for another to make this choice for them and judge, only women know what they want to do with their own bodies, no one else should speak for them!!!
# 24,456:
ONLY GOD HAS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
# 24,455:
We are all one and when one is hurt we all are hurt.

My body is mine alone; I have the control over it and deserve to keep that control.
