Take Action for Women’s Health

Jill

Sign the petition to push President Bush to restore funding to the UNFPA. The UNFPA funding cuts are part of the global gag rule, which cuts off funding to any organization that is even nominally pro-choice. From the site:

Since 2002, the Bush Administration has withheld over $161 million from the world’s women. This money could provide for safe motherhood programs including midwife training, contraceptives, HIV prevention, gender-based violence prevention and advocacy initiatives to protect the rights of women everywhere.

Amie at RH Reality Check has more on why this petition is important.

It takes two minutes. Go sign it.

Thanks to Sarah for the link.

  1. Finally! A chance for the president to ignore a handful of lunatics in Virginia, and their enabler Rep. (R, of course) Chris Smith, and listen to the rest of the entire world. Will he do the right thing and help to save women’s lives? God help me, I still have hope. I signed it, and I’m telling everyone I know.
