Don't Let Fake Clinics Take Over Women's Reproductive Rights
Target: Mike Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
Don't think that President Bush's attacks against women's health are over. The current administration is proposing to open up more government funds to clinics that claim to be informative "crisis pregnancy centers," or CPCs, but they really only exist to push their anti-choice agenda, preventing women from knowing all the options they have.
These "clinics" are often staffed with untrained volunteers who care more about their own political interests than their patients.
Bush is trying to open up funding for CPCs from Title X - federal money reserved for comprehensive, unbiased family planning clinics. Funding CPCs takes money away from these unbiased clinics.
Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt is about to propose this funding regulation. Tell Leavitt that you want Title X funds to go only to comprehensive reproductive health care centers for women - not "fake clinics"!

I believe in women's unalienable right to choose what is right for themselves. I do not want others making my choices, or preventing me from making an informed one. |

I want religion out of the clinics and our daily lives. It is a personal thing and should remain that way. Abstinence only DOES NOT WORK. Just check with Sara Palin's daughter. I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore! No more ideology. We are a democracy not a Theocracy!

All thought history women have been demonized and called vampires,witches and other hideous things. We still have the same problem. SUPERSTITIOUS, RELIGIOUS, Self RIGHTEOUSNESS ( ZEALOTS) ALL because priests of christian and jewish faiths couldn't keep there perverted whims to them selves. They blamed A women beauty on the devil to shield themselves from deviant deeds and thoughts. In Biblical mythology A woman by the name of Lilith was made out of the same earth as Adam and was paired. lilith was smart and independent, adam wanted her to be subservient and to obey his wishes. she refused, and for her refusal she was booted out of the garden and out of gods good graces and all her future children to be ever dammed. then god created eve from Adams rib and she was forever faithful & subservient thus creating all of us. How arrogant is that? I BELIEVE IN A WOMAN MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT AND THE UNALIENABLE RIGHT TO CHOSE WHAT SHE CAN AND CAN'T DO WITH HER BODY!!! |
