Years ago I was the Title X Training manager for the state of New Mexico and had many opportunities to work with Planned Parenthood and its affiliates nationwide. The services that Title X provides to women of childbearing age are vast and vital, and are efficiently and compassionately offered to clients across all walks of life: women with insurance (who could be denied coverage even under threat of death) and women on entitlement programs such as Medicaid. Efforts to totally defund these Title X programs and to deny coverage via insurance claims will destroy mainstream, dependable sources of health care like Planned Parenthood. These efforts are gaining momentum every day among Republican and Blue Dog legislators and your voice is urgently needed!
We are facing the possibility of tremendous and unimaginable setbacks in women’s health care with several bills being debated in Congress now. We must speak out or as a nation, we will soon lose our precious democratic values: that each person is promised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Please speak out through Planned Parenthood or by going to NARAL Pro-Choice America.
Your voices can help to stop the undermining of women’s hard fought rights in determining the number and the spacing of their offspring, and to assist all women of childbearing age in receiving the reproductive health care services they need.
Women are under siege in this current congressional climate, and in order to understand more about the situation with the Republican anti-women agenda and the proposed bills, this interview (click below), is worth viewing.
Your voices have never been so urgently needed, in all the decades since Roe vs. Wade. Will you add your voice?
