Anti-family planning politicians are at it again!

Those wacky religious right conservatives in Congress are at it again! This time it's Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN). Hey, I'm from Indiana and I think this guy is crazy! If these extremists don't want women to have abortions doesn't it make sense that you would want women (and men) to have access to birth control?

Congress is only in session for a few more days, and then they will be at home for their August Recess. That is supposed to be a time when they meet with their constituents! Well, don't wait until August ... CALL THEM TONIGHT, and tell them to vote NO on the Pence amendment.


TAKE ACTION NOW

The message below is from Planned Parenthood Federation of America:

The anti-family planning politicians are at it again. Last night, Congressman Mike Pence introduced an amendment that restricts critical family planning funding. We’ve seen family planning funding restrictions before — but this one is different. Rep. Pence’s amendment specifically calls out Planned Parenthood and seeks to ban Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers from receiving family planning funding.

For more than 90 years, Planned Parenthood has helped women, men, and teens prevent unintended pregnancy and plan healthy families. Every year millions of them rely on Planned Parenthood for health care services, education, and information.

Time and time again, anti-family planning politicians put politics ahead of women’s health. It’s time to put a stop to these extremist policies.

Call your member of Congress tonight and ask him or her to VOTE NO on the Pence Amendment to the Labor-HHS spending bill and to speak on the floor against this attack on Planned Parenthood.

Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

Call your member of Congress tonight and say that it’s time to stand up for women’s health!
