Support the Prevention First Act & Help Prevent Unintended Pregnancies
Are you tired of divisive attacks on a woman's right to choose? Then sign the petition in support of the Prevention First Act and ask Congress to put aside partisan politics for real solutions.
The Prevention First Act will provide honest, realistic sex education for our teens, better access to birth control (including emergency contraception) for women and improved family-planning services for couples who may not otherwise have access to a doctor. The Prevention First Act is positive and powerful!
Congress needs to hear from Americans like you. No matter whether your legislators support or oppose abortion, we hope our new Congress can work together to support this commonsense, common-ground bill.
Prevention First puts the values of America's pro-choice majority into practice: it would help to prevent unintended pregnancies-thereby reducing the need for abortion-and improve women's health. Prevention First represents a chance to change the tone of the debate around a woman's right to choose.
Stand behind this visionary legislation by asking your Congressmembers to cosponsor the bill today!
Dear [Decision Maker],
As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to cosponsor the Prevention First Act, S.21/H.R.819.
This commonsense, proactive bill would help prevent unintended pregnancies and make abortion less necessary by improving women's access to federally funded family-planning services and preventing teen pregnancy, among other things.
For example, it's still legal in 24 states for insurance companies to refuse to cover women's birth control - even if they pay for other prescription medication. The Prevention First Act would end this discrimination and ensure all health plans cover contraception equally.
