Stand Up for Down There
Seriously, Indiana state House?

The Indiana state House just passed a bill that forces health clinics that provide the abortion pill (RU 486) to have full surgical facilities. 

Why would somebody need a surgical facility to provide a pill? 

Not only does access to contraception grant women personal freedom to write their own futures – it also has some serious economic benefits. 
Now that’s something we can all get excited about. 
The Kentucky state House Health and Welfare Committee has blocked six – yes, six! – anti-choice proposals.  
The reason? 
They trust women. 
This is just ridiculous.

After Gov. Beebe of Arkansas stood up for women and families by vetoing an extreme abortion ban, the state House overrode his veto. 
Why? Why?!

Now, anti-choice lawmakers have launched a totally unnecessary investigation of Planned Parenthood.

To prove what? That Planned Parenthood provides comprehensive reproductive-health services? 

Somebody call a doctor! Oh good - they did.

While Alabama state Rep. McClurkin was busy attacking choice in her state using TOTALLY ERRONEOUS NONSENSE, State Rep. Doug Cox of Oklahoma – an actual medical doctor – explaining why an anti-choice bill in his state is bad for women.

And pro-choice Americans for the win!

According to state polls, a whopping 84% of Texans say they are IN FAVOR of comprehensive sex education in schools – including teaching about contraception. 
Texas lawmakers, take note! 
Clinics Closing in Wisconsin

Because of extreme legislative anti-choice attacks in Wisconsin, Planned Parenthood will have to close four health centers in that state. 

Thousands of women and men will be forced to seek health care elsewhere in Wisconsin.  

And as for the culprits behind this attack on choice…

A federal judge in Arizona just threw out a bill that would essentially defund Planned Parenthood in the state. 
Women – 1 Anti-choice lawmakers - 0
A public defender in Wisconsin let her anti-choice personal beliefs get in the way of her duty by trying to force a young woman to go to an anti-choice “crisis pregnancy center” before seeking abortion care. EVEN THOUGH she, and her social worker, did not want to.
