From Planned Parenthood's website:

"Have you heard about the anti-choice Smith bill? It attempts to take away private health insurance coverage for abortion from millions of women, and would ban federal funding for abortion even in many cases of rape.

Heartlessly, the Smith bill would even prevent many rape survivors from getting the care they need. If this bill passes, only rape survivors who become pregnant through 'forcible rape' will be allowed federal financing of abortion. This means women who are drugged, unconscious, coerced — or whatever else state lawmakers decide does not constitute 'forcible rape' — could be excluded from the abortion coverage they need. Read that again, because it is truly shocking. The sponsors of this bill want to ban federal funding for abortion in cases of rape they deem not 'forcible.'

Rep. Smith and his anti-choice cronies have gone too far. Join me and Planned Parenthood -- tell your rep to vote NO on the Smith bill!"

But wait, there's more!

"There is no other way to say this: our opponents are set on eliminating family planning and sex education and making abortion illegal.

Today, their latest attack hit the news. Anti-choice extremists, who have been attacking Planned Parenthood for five years, released a secretly taped video claiming that Planned Parenthood is covering up exploitation of children. What these videos don't say is that when their 'undercover' operators visited clinics asking for services for an 'underage sex trafficking ring,' Planned Parenthood staff immediately reported them to both local and federal authorities.

We're turning to you for help, Natalie. Please, I ask you to stand with Planned Parenthood in the face of increasing — and increasingly aggressive — attacks."

Basically, conservatives are pelting PP with attacks in an effort to gain ground against Roe Vs. Wade.

Opposition is not our greatest enemy.
Inaction is our greatest enemy.

Please, if you believe in the freedom of choice and women's health and independance, sign these petitions.
