A PSA on Behalf of Planned Parenthood

I'm one of those many women who at some point in their lives have used the services of Planned Parenthood, and I know many other women who have done so as well.  For the sake of all the women you know or care about, please read and consider signing here.

On February 18, 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to bar Planned Parenthood health centers from all federal funding for birth control, cancer screenings, HIV testing, and other lifesaving care.


It is the most dangerous legislative assault in our history, and it cannot go unanswered. We — Planned Parenthood and the three million women, men, and teens who are at risk of losing access to basic care — need you to stand united with us now.

Sign our open letter to every single representative in the House who voted for this cruel, unconscionable, unthinkable law, and to every senator who still has a chance to stop it.

AN OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To the members of the House of Representatives who voted for the Pence Amendment to H.R.
1:                  How could you?

How could you betray millions of women — and men, and teens — who rely on Planned Parenthood for basic health care?

How could you condemn countless women in this country to undiagnosed cancer, unintended pregnancies, and untreated illnesses?

Your vote was not only against those who seek care at Planned Parenthood health centers, but against every one of us who has ever sought care there, and against every one of us who knows that when we are healthy, when we are in charge of our lives, we thrive.

It was a vote against me.


To every senator who will soon consider this legislation:


I stand with Planned Parenthood to say to you: STOP THIS.


I stand with Planned Parenthood and the hundreds of thousands of people from every walk of life and every corner of this country who join me in signing this letter to tell you that we will fight this bill and we expect you to do the same.


I stand with and for the millions of women, men, and teens who rely on Planned Parenthood, and I expect you to do the same.


To every member of Congress, know that we stand together today against this outrageous assault, and together we will not lose.
