WHY YOU SHOULD SEND THAT HANGER
On May 5, Governor Brewer signed into law what will essentially de-fund Planned Parenthood in Arizona. These funds were given to Planned Parenthood in order for them provide basic health care and family planning services to 20,000 Arizona women each year. No funds went to the performance of abortions.
However, the purpose of this is to try to shut down not only AZ Planned Parenthood's provision of health care and family planning services but to shut down the 3% of their business which is legal abortions.
In Arizona, 7 out of 10 people support Planned Parenthood. According to the latest Gallop Poll in 2011, 77% of Americans polled believe abortions should still be legal in all or some circumstances.
Here is a brief description of the six bills that have been passed and signed into law in Arizona in the last MONTH. I could write more about them but I would rather have you find a wire hanger and a box or envelope and head to the post office.
HB 2625- Employer option to cover birth control
HB 2627- De-fundPlanned Parenthood (services to working poor)
HB 2800- De-fund Planned Parenthood (services to AHCCCs and Title X patients)
SB 1009- School education to favor adoption over abortion
SB 1359- Doctors may lie to patients to prevent abortion without legal liability
HB 2036- Prevent abortions after 20 weeks (well..17 weeks) except in an emergency
Let me repeat myself:
