We THOUGHT we had seen unprecedented attacks on women's access to health care in 2011. But 2012 is starting out with even more attacks and field of Republican presidential candidates who are competing to see who can be the worst on women's health care. The coming elections will determine the futures of us all — sisters, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, aunts, and best friends. That’s why Planned Parenthood Action Fund (our national election arm) has launched the "Women Are Watching" program. Join us!
Please visit the action fundwebsite to pledge to be one of millions of women across America watching, thinking, acting and voting to protect the health of our families, friends and neighbors. Visit the Women Are Watching website to pledge to: WATCH, THINK, ACT, VOTE!
Direct attacks on women's access to health care in Congress.
U.S. Senator Dean Heller recently said he didn't give women's access to basic health care a "second thought." Jon Ralston talked to him after the vote and Senator Heller brushed off the issue. You can read Ralston's take here. And Senator Heller is so out of touch with Nevada women ... that he doesn't appear to know that contraceptive equity IS the law in Nevada. Call him and tell him he SHOULD think twice about Nevada women. And that he should vote "NO" on the Rubio Amendment when it comes up! (202) 224-6244
The fight to protect access to women's health in Nevada.
Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada are going to court to fight against the two ballot initiatives that have been filed in Nevada. These initiatives would grant legal protections to fertilized eggs, embryos and fetuses; if passed, they could outlaw a wide range of reproductive health services, not only life-saving abortions, but also most commonly used forms of birth control, treatment for ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages and the medically recommended treatments for in vitro fertilization.
These initiatives could appear on the November 2012 ballot. We can not let outside groups try to bring their misleading proposals to cut off access to basic health services to Nevada! Sign the petition to protect access to vital health care services:
You can rely on Planned Parenthood. Over 3 million Americans come to our health centers every year for preventative health care including well-women annual exams, birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment and education. In the last several years, we've seen women's health care services under attack at every level! Some members of Congress want to prohibit Planned Parenthood from getting funding for pap smears and other cancer screenings for low income women ... a move that would have had a devastating impact on those who rely on us for their basic health care each year.
