Category — reproductive freedom

from our comrades at Radical Women

Rightwing Congresspeople are seeking to ban reproductive health services from coverage in a new federal health care system. This could cause millions of women, including many who currently receive such services under private insurance, to lose access to abortion.

NARAL Pro-Choice America has set up an easy-to-use website where you can send an email calling on your senator to oppose anti-abortion provisions in proposed health care legislation. Click here to go to their website to send a message.

Radical Women calls on feminists to join together to build a united front capable of stopping the ultra-right and winning survival needs such as full reproductive rights, affordable housing, childcare and education, single-payer healthcare, decent paying jobs, expanded human services, and an end to U.S. wars. We are currently organizing on all these fronts as well as mounting a $45,000 Fund Drive to help promote our national efforts on such issues. Your donations are warmly encouraged. Contributions of any amount can be accepted at the Radical Women webpage; or you can mail a check to Radical Women at 5018 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, WA 98118.

In addition, I encourage you to visit our website, www.RadicalWomen.org, to print out a petition to circulate to protest the criminal prosecution of a young woman in Queensland, Australia for inducing a miscarriage with RU486, an abortion drug that is legal and approved for use in the U.S. Her trial begins in early July.
