Honoring Women’s Lives
Nancy Keenan, NARAL on April 25, 2007 - 10:44am
The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Bush's Federal Abortion Ban. This dangerous ban—which has no exception to protect a woman's health—will become the law of the land and anti-choice activists will be one step closer to their goal of overturning Roe v. Wade. If there was ever a time to stand up and fight to keep politicians out of women's private lives, it is now. At NARAL Pro-Choice America, we've taken our fight to the next level and started an all-out campaign to support the Freedom of Choice Act. The Freedom of Choice Act would codify Roe v. Wade's protections into federal law, essentially repealing the Federal Abortion Ban and guaranteeing the right to choose for generations to come. NARAL Pro-Choice America helped organize a diverse list of 25 groups for a national call-in day today, April 25. And what better day to flood Congress with phone calls about the Freedom of Choice Act than on the three-year anniversary of the historic March for Women's Lives. Exactly three years ago today, on April 25, 2004, more than one million pro-choice Americans came to Washington, D.C. to send a message that politicians have no place in women's personal, private medical decisions. It's time to send that message again, because anti-choice activists and politicians are ready to unleash even more attacks on safe, legal abortion, without any regard for women's health:
Today, Wednesday, April 25, call on Congress to support the Freedom of Choice Act. Click here to find our instructions, including our sample phone script. Don't miss this important chance to fight back against Bush's Federal Abortion Ban. P.S. If you can't call, send an email to your members of Congress in support of the Freedom of Choice Act.
