We are at a time in our state and in our country in which we can no longer sit back and assume that our reproductive rights are guaranteed.

 

Every day reproductive rights and choice are under attack at the state and national level by anti-choice lawmakers. Here in Ohio, our legislators are trying to outlaw abortion and limit women's access to contraception. At the national level, President Bush is attempting to pack the Supreme Court with anti-choice justices, the FDA is stonewalling efforts to make emergency contraception available over the counter and the Justice Department is in court doing its best to ensure that the government, not women, is in the position to make decisions regarding women's health care.

 

The good news is that this is not a hopeless situation. The majority of Americans are pro-choice. And we believe that women, in consultation with their doctors, their families, and their beliefs should have the absolute right to make decisions regarding their health, their bodies, and their lives.

 

Now is the time for all pro-choice Americans to unite to defend reproductive freedom. You, as a pro-choice Ohioan, can join our effort today! You can take a stand to protect your rights and the rights of others. Together we can stop the anti-choice attack on reproductive rights!

 

Please plan on attending a pro-choice community event in your area, become a volunteer for NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, join the Choice Action Network (CAN), or take action on a choice related issue.

 

By organizing in our communities, our state, and our country we will stop the anti-choice attack on reproductive rights and we will show the anti-choice zealots that we will not sit back while they further erode a woman's right to choose!
